Term Project

Value: 20% of course grade

Description

If you choose to do a Term Project, it must involve creation and testing (or exhibit of) a wood composite material or wood structure. You are free to come up with your own idea or chose one of the ideas suggested below. You should work in a group of 3 or 4 students.

Project Evaluation

Projects will be evaluated on group collaboration and the implementation of the idea. At the end of the semester, your group will create and present a poster that will be displayed in the BCT classroom, room 162. A powerpoint template will be provided for the poster.

Evaluation of the Team Members

Contribution of each student to the group assignments and term project will be evaluated by the other team members by completing a peer evaluation form.
