About CSME

The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME) Student Chapter aims to build a positive culture for the Mechanical Engineering department at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN).

The CSME provides trips, workshops, and other events for Mechanical Engineering students, and allows them to connect with industry, professional, and academia across the country.

2017 Competition

The CSME competition for 2017 took place in the Engineering Building of Memorial University. Five projects were selected and presented so they can be judged by the following: Dr. Andy Fisher (MUN), Dr. Yuri Muzychka (MUN), Professor Darlene Spracklin-Reid (MUN), Cameron Reid (Madsen Power Systems), and Nick Janes (Verafin).

The five projects presented were: AC Induction Motor with a Rotor Integrated Ducted Fan, Hybrid Thermal Insulation for Subsea Pipelines, Affordable 3D Printed Myoelectric Prosthetic, AeroPonic Indoor Farming System, Floating Hybrid Energy Generation System - Tidal and Wind.

The winner of the 2017 CSME competition is the project on AC Induction Motor with a Rotor Integrated Ducted Fan.
