Team Presentation: Transportation in Toronto. For 2nd year course Engineering Communications I (Civil Engineering). A presentation to mock-present to the City Council of the time, discussing, with a direction in mind, how to improve our current transportation situation. Similar in format to how existing engineering consultants and government organizations put together slide decks to 'sell' the idea.

CIV201 (UofT)

Prof. Brenda McCabe

Consultant's Report for a small-scale transport device. A report written for the University of Toronto, First Year Engineering course: Engineering Strategies and Practise. Although a terribly implemented course, this document begins to show integration of the engineering design process, with comparison matrices developed and rating systems based on not only economic factors but intrinsic factors, despite no prototypes of both models actually existing. Please note that the writing style is very different from the way I write today - it is added here only for historical purposes.
