Capstone Project Submission Form
Clients are expected to dedicate time to explain the problem to the student team, and to help evaluate progress. There may be opportunities along the way if you wish to mentor the team without unduly restricting their freedom of action, as indicated above.
The first page provides information to help students decide whether to bid for your project. The second page provides more detail about the people with whom they would be working.
Background: Briefly explain the domain and the context in which you are trying to solve an engineering problem. (2-3 sentences)
Objectives: Briefly explain what problem you would like the student to solve, and what constraints and non-functional requirements they should be aware of. Note that detailed functional requirements will be jointly defined between you and the student team early in the project and do not need to be detailed here.
Major Deliverables: Explain what you would need to see to declare success in April: a prototype, a model, a computer simulation, validated design solution, a set of blueprints, etc.
Special Considerations: You may want to include descriptions of the following:
Submission Review:
Due to the large volume of proposals we usually receive, our proposal review process can take up to two months. We suggest you submit your proposal as soon as practicable. Our review team will perform a static review, and if your proposal appears appropriate for the Capstone Program, the team will contact you for further clarifying discussions. We will not require face-to-face meetings, and we expect to complete the proposal review process by September 3, at which time you will be notified of our results. If selected, you will have the opportunity to pitch your project to the full Capstone student body and in an audio-visual presentation event scheduled for a date TBD in the first two weeks of September.
Feedback will typically be given within two weeks, but no later than September 3.
You may find some inspiration in the accompanying examples.
PLEASE NOTE:
The project is not strictly confidential. Although the resulting Intellectual Property will belong to you, the students need to be able to write reports and to make presentations to instructors and peers at UBC for grading.
You will find our standard IP transfer agreement and Non Disclosure agreement below. Note that only these text can be used for capstone projects. Due to volume, UBC will not negotiate specific texts for each project or client.
