ENGS 89/90 Timeline
Early September: ENGS 89 begins, proposals are pitched, problems and teams are matched, and projects begin.
Early October: CEDC associates are invoiced.
Mid October: Student teams report orally to a professional review board about their understanding of the problem, the current state of the art surrounding potential solutions, and the area in which they intend to focus their efforts. A written report is also provided at this time.
Late November: Each student team reports to the professional review board on its potential solution to the problem, their attempts to realize the solution, potential obstacles, alternative ideas in case a dead-end is reached, and anticipated timelines for completing the project. A written report is also provided at this time.
Early January: ENGS 90, the final segment of the course, begins.
Early February: Each student team reports to the professional review board about its progress to date, including the status of the proposed solution, and how challenges have been overcome.
Early March: Each student team presents its final report to the professional review board, recapping their work over the two terms and demonstrating the deliverable that solves the problem. A written report is also provided at this time.

Each CEDC associate contributes $5,000 to Thayer School for their student selected project. See the Financial Commitment page for details.
