NSERC Design Chair for Interdisciplinary Innovation of Medical Technologies of McGill University's Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering are constantly seeking to partner with local industry working in medical and bio-engineering fields.
During the two‑semester Capstone Mechanical Engineering Project course approximately half of the projects every year are related to various medical and bionics applications, including surgery, cardiology, vascular, cervical and others. The lists of bio-med projects accomplished in the previous years can be found on the web page of the Design Chair. You can also learn more about the Design Chair here.
The teams usually include four Mechanical Engineering students, however, in accordance with the partner's needs, we can build an interdisciplinary (hybrid) team that may include students from Bio-Engineering Departments, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and other Departments of the Faculty.
If you are interested in getting benefits for your company from motivated, passionate and creative students, while helping them to master modern technologies and engineering, we will be happy to include your project to the capstone design course of the next academic year.
Should you wish to become a distinguished member of this Design Chair at McGill (amongst many other MEDTEC companies), the cost of one project is $4000 which comes with other advantages we are happy to discuss. The cost of any materials used to build prototypes will be covered within a reasonable limit which we will inform you should you approach this limit.
- All prototypes and copies of drawings and reports are delivered to the sponsoring client at the conclusion of the project. Any intellectual property developed during the project belongs to the sponsor.
Projects begin in the fall and culminate with the McGill Design Day, an exhibition of all projects and their prototypes in the first week of April.
To propose a project, please fill the form and email it to the address indicated in it, or just send us an email with your ideas and/or proposals.
