More than 300 UWindsor engineering students will display their latest innovations Friday, July 27, in the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation.

The capstone projects designed by fourth-year engineering students include:

• an efficient expansion of the City of Windsor’s district energy system using chilled water from the Detroit River;
• an innovative greenhouse automation system that monitors and displays real-time greenhouse conditions; and
• a re-design of the intersection at California Avenue and Wyandotte Street West to improve pedestrian safety and traffic flow.

Students will present their projects to industry partners and faculty during an open house between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. throughout the first floor of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation.

The team-based projects are the culmination of the undergraduate program and a requirement for degree completion. Students combine the technical skills and hands-on experience acquired during their program and design a project related to their chosen discipline.

Projects from the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering will be on display.
