Applied Research at Conestoga
Conestoga College is a gateway for industry innovation. Each of Conestoga’s priority research areas support applied projects that meet the needs of industry and community partners. They also drive growth in the local and regional economy.
Research projects are integrated into the curriculum, giving students the opportunity to build innovation-enabling skills. Capstone, final-year thesis, curriculum and independent projects are an important avenue of applied research. Through these projects, one or more students – up to an entire class – explore solutions to a challenge facing a company or community organization.
