| + | The task the group was given was to design, construct and complete a robust vehicle with the intention to win a contest. There were specific design criteria to meet, and a distance-cost relationship that was to be minimized. | ||

| + | The purpose of this project update the Engineering Physics 4A04 Project designed by former students Andrew Jeffery, Dan Ross and Graham Greenland. By updating the project, the project can be cleaned up and can be used in the future provide a representation of the some of the type of work that students in Engineering Physics complete during their time at McMaster. | ||

| + | A free space optical communication system was to be engineering. Using a GUI created in Visual C#; text, pictures and sound were to be transmitted via laser beam to another computer. The project was successful, as it could transmit both text and small pictures. The task at hand was to increase the speed of the system, so that pictures could be transmitted at a faster rate and to make the transmission of sound possible. This would improve the system for demo purposes. | ||

| + | The purpose of this project is to update the Engineering Physics 3G03 Project designed by Honson Lam, and Sarah Hoffman. By updating the project, the project can be cleaned up and can be used in the future provide a representation of the some of the type of work that students in Engineering Physics complete during their time at McMaster. | ||
