Design Teams
Design teams at FEAS offer exciting, fun opportunities to apply your knowledge in the real world. They also give you the chance to travel to destinations in Canada and around the globe, meet new people, and compete against other schools.
Want to start your own design team?
To start your own engineering design team, follow the instructions as outlined on the Metropolitan University Engineering Society (MUES) website (external link) . For architecture design teams, contact the Toronto Metropolitan Architecture Student Society (arc.soc) (external link) through their website.
