Fourth-year engineering students showcase first-phase Capstone prototypes
To wrap up the spring term, our fourth-year engineering students presented the first phase of their Capstone Projects at the ENSC 405 Poster Session, showcasing innovative concepts designed to solve real-world challenges and improve accessibility in our community.
Working in teams, students developed early-stage prototypes and technical designs that demonstrated a strong attention to user-friendliness in community settings. Their projects covered a wide range of areas, from sports technology and healthcare to solutions aimed at improving accessibility in everyday tasks. Students also had the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from faculty members and peers as they prepared for the next stage of development.
Learn about some of the innovative projects
Autonomous Sneaker Cleaner
This project explores how automation can support everyday convenience and accessbility. The automated cleaner is designed to clean footwear with minimal user effort, making the process easier and offering a pracitcal solution for users who need a more efficient way to complete the task.
Gait and Rehabilitation Footwear
The system focuses on healthcare and rehabilitation support. By tracking the user's walking pattern and movement data, the team aims to develop a footwear that can help users and healthcare professionals monitor rehabilitation progress more effectively.
Smart Pickleball Paddle
This system introduces a data-driven approach to athletic training. The pickleball paddle is designed to capture performance analytics from each paddle movement, aiming to help players to better understand their technique and improve consistency over time.
The Capstone Project is a key milestone for engineering science students, allowing them to apply their technical knowledge in systems design and software to create solutions with practical impacts. As the first course in a two-phase Capstone sequence, ENSC 405W encourages students to develop innovative concepts into prototype. Student teams will continue working on their projects in ENSC 440, where they move into the next stage of development and complete their Capstone Project.
