Getting Started

Description of the Project 

This ENGINUITY project unites Engineering and Commerce students to design a robotics solution at the intersection of Arts & Sustainability.

Both disciplines collaborate while leveraging their unique expertise:

  • Engineering students will apply STEM principles and automation to build a functional ecosystem of robots that interact and communicate.
  • Commerce students will develop a comprehensive portfolio of branding assets and strategic marketing reports to position and commercialize the final product(s).

Together, teams will conceptualize, ideate, and present their prototypes and business strategies to industry experts, showcasing innovation, sustainability, and market viability.

Key Dates 

There are 4 prepatory UB Session where students meet with across disciplines while work is completed throughout the semester.

Conceptualization 

A few weeks have past, engineering students will now begin to build the final product. Business students will have created their strategies and begin implementation. 

This session will be the confirmation of the prototype, the direction of the company and the design stage. 

Objective: By the end of this session, each team will have a draft report with go to action tasks prepared.
