Assessments


Group work, project management and product development are assessed through 3 coursework assignments to be completed by teams of 11 or 12 students:
  1. Feasibility reports are due March 18, 2012 and contribute 30% to the unit mark.
    Teams will be required to pitch one feasible product concept during the March 19, 2012 lecture session.
  2. Design reports are due May 20, 2012 and contribute 30% to the unit mark.
    Teams will be required to demonstrate product prototypes during the May 7, 2012 lecture session.
  3. Team journals are maintained during the entire semester and contribute 40% to the unit mark.
    The next marking date for team journals is February 19, 2012.
