2024 Clean Energy Engineering Capstone Conference

The UBC Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) Clean Energy Engineering Capstone Conference is an annual event that highlights the innovative projects developed by our graduate students in collaboration with community partners. It provides a unique opportunity to explore the latest advances in clean energy engineering, discover exciting new research, and network with industry professionals.

This year’s conference will culminate in a joint reception, bringing together students from the UBC MEL in Clean Energy Engineering, High Performance Buildings, and Integrated Water Management specializations to share insights and experiences from their capstone projects.

Attendees will have the chance to view project posters, attend presentations, and engage with students, faculty, and industry experts. The projects cover a wide range of topics, including renewable energy, energy storage, energy efficiency, and smart grid technologies.

The Capstone Conference serves as a platform for MEL in Clean Energy Engineering students to present their work and connect with a diverse audience, including students, alumni, faculty, and industry professionals. It’s a valuable opportunity for meaningful networking and learning.

The conference is open to everyone, including industry professionals, academics, government officials, and alumni. We invite you to join us for this exciting event and connect with experts in the clean energy sector.
