On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff of UPEI’s Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the virtual version of our annual Engineering Student Design Expo.

This event provides our students with the opportunity to showcase their design skills, to network with our design clinic partners, and to be recognized for their hard work as aspiring engineers.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many design clinic partners and design award sponsors for joining us in providing a range of real-world engineering challenges for our students.

UPEI’s unique hands-on, problem solving approach to engineering education not only develops our students’ design skills but also cultivates their abilities to interact with our design clinic partners in a professional workplace setting — invaluable experience that will serve them well as they transition into their engineering careers.
