EngSci’s Praxis II Showcase will be open to the public this year.
Registration is required for guests who are not affiliated with the course.
At the Praxis II Showcase, student teams present and demonstrate their designs to stakeholders and the general public. Attendees will be able to ask questions and talk to the teams in small group chats.
Read about a previous Praxis II Showcase in the U of T Engineering News.
Praxis II is a Year 1 course that allows Engineering Science students to refine and apply their engineering, design, and communication skills. The students are given a single challenge:
Effect a verified and validated sustainable improvement in the lived experience of a community.
Focusing on a community allows students to gain first-hand experience with the issues confronting real groups of people and to engage one-on-one with stakeholders and community representatives.
The course culminates in the public Praxis II Showcase. At the event, students share their refined understanding of their opportunity and their proposed engineering designs with a wide audience through posters, prototypes and presentations.

Year 3, PEY and Year 4 EngSci students, are you thinking of applying to graduate school?
Join Professors Arthur Chan and Rob Irish for a special session to learn how to put your best foot forward with a strong personal statement.
This event has three components:
1. Watch three short video modules before the event—find them on the EngSci Info Hub’s Grad School Info page (UTORid login required):
- Understanding personal statements: What they are, and how to structure them
- Past experiences: Three example statements that show you how to decide what to include
- Future work, communication principles, and resources to help you
Once you’ve seen the videos, you probably have some questions about your specific situation, schools, and goals.
Come to the event to ask about how to make the best impression and build a convincing argument for yourself through your personal statement.
2. Ask a question before the event
After you have watched the videos, you can submit or upvote questions ahead of the event through Slido, event code #10oct2023. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions live during the event.
3. Attend the event
This event is open to upper year EngSci students. Register for the session here.
Faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends are invited to see what EngSci’s Praxis III students have been up to.
This year’s Praxis III students worked on projects based in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
Student teams collaborated with peers from U of T’s Faculty of Arts & Science and focused on design challenges aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12 grouped into three broad areas:
- Sustainable Local Economics in a Globalized World
- Sustainable Buildings & Energy Management
- Sustainable Non-Industrial Solid Waste Management
Registration is required for alumni and external guests!
Attend as much or as little of either event as you like. Please register by Wednesday, April 10.
NOTE: Registration is not required for current U of T students, staff, and faculty.
