Multidisciplinary teams of engineering, commerce, law, and/or science students, as appropriate, undertake consulting projects with industrial, government, and not-for-profit clients. Typical project types include Process Improvement, Feasibility & Design, Business Strategy/Marketing, Environmental, Start-ups, Blue-Sky, or a combination of topics which are selected based on prevailing industry trends. Following a phase of self-directed problem and scope definition, students will execute their projects in groups, guided by experienced professionals. Students will receive formal training in project management and participate in guest lectures by industry experts. Students interact regularly with clients at a technical and management level. The course concludes with a comprehensive report and presentation to the client. Participation in the course is by selection. Students must apply for admission into the course by providing a copy of their resume, unofficial transcript, and a cover letter substantiating their interest in the course.
