Project-based learning is a cornerstone of engineering education,fostering essential graduate attributes such as teamwork, communication, and projectmanagement, as outlined by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). However,engineering students, particularly in upper-year courses, often face challenges in managing tasksdue to demanding schedules and uneven workloads within teams.The proposed tool leverages artificial intelligence to break down complex projects intomanageable sub-tasks, optimize task assignments based on team members' skills and availability,and streamline project planning. Developed using Next.js for the frontend and FastAPI for thebackend, the tool integrates

program was transitioned to a virtual, online setting due to the COVID-19pandemic.Typically, the students begin by learning about the formal engineering design process with anhour-long activity before being introduced to the topic and goal of their project. The student teams(typically 5-6 students) are required to do research on the project topic and make some designdrawings prior to beginning construction. They are also introduced to some basic technicalprinciples that will aid in their design. For example, in a previous project that heavily featuredplumbing, students were taught some basics of fluid mechanics, including Bernoulli’s Equationand the impact of pipe size, elevation, bends, tees and other geometric changes on the flow rate ofwater
