Queen's University - Department Of Chemical Engineering, Kingston, ON

Started in 1995, TEAM provides participating companies with a unique opportunity to gain valuable business insights for a modest investment. TEAM brings together the talents and enthusiasm of Canada's future arts, science, engineering, law, commerce and business leaders to address your organization's challenges and advance your goals.
When you join the TEAM, we assess your needs and evaluate the challenges associated with your project. A 3 to 5 member cross-functional consulting team (arts, science, engineering, law, commerce and business students) are assigned to address the various facets of your company's initiative. A fee of $5000 is charged (note 1) to participating clients in order to cover student travel, research and/or prototyping costs. Additionally, TEAM provides a Web based teleconference centre to effectively service remote clients.
In the past, some projects have involved significant travel and the participating company has paid some of these expenses. Likewise, projects can be adjusted to meet a company's resources. While getting the students out to the clients' place of business is an important educational component of the course that we strongly encourage, TEAM is NOT a co-op. The number of on-site visits and interaction required is completely up to the clients.
Queen's University stresses the strict observance of all confidentiality rules in accordance with the highest standards applied by the consulting and legal professions. Accordingly, all report and working documents will remain the property of the sponsoring company.
