Innovation and creativity on display at Engineering Project Day
Media are invited to attend the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science’s annual Capstone Project Day this weekend. Fourth-year students in Electronic Systems, Environmental Systems, Industrial Systems, Petroleum Systems, and Software Systems Engineering will present their projects and demonstrate how they’ve applied hands-on learning to real-world problems and challenges.
Details:
Date: Saturday, April 11, 2026
Time: 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Location: Main Floor, Education Building

This year’s event will feature over 15 capstone projects, including:
- Design of a Remediation Solution for Brine-impacted Soils at an Industrial site - This project evaluates strategies to improve soil health after it’s been contaminated with brine while balancing cost effectiveness, sustainability, and long-term recovery.
- Optimizing CO2 Dehydration Performance: A Desiccant Replacement Study for SaskPower's CCS Facility - This project provides a technical assessment within the carbon dioxide dehydrator towers at SaskPower's Boundary Dam Carbon Capture and Storage Facility.
- TasteBud - An application developed to identify and track users' allergenic or intolerant foods via long term pattern recognition.
- ClassQuest – This platform turns school work into an interactive role-playing game to increase student engagement.
- AgriWAN - Partnering with Saskatchewan farm-tech company, FarmSimple Solutions, this group has redesigned their existing HerdHand agriculture monitoring product. The end device will monitor water flow rate, ambient temperature, water level, and battery voltage while withstanding Saskatchewan weather conditions.
