CAPSTONE PROJECTS
When a College of Engineering student is nearing the end of their undergraduate or graduate program, they will take part in a year-long course called Senior Design Project I & II. In this course, students will work together in groups of 4 to 6, alongside a faculty mentor, to solve a real-world problem. Many of these problems are submitted by industry partners, who sponsor the team to find a viable solution.
Capstone projects are intended to help students take all of the knowledge and skills they gained through their college career and apply them in a practical way through one assignment. These projects also demonstrate a student's ability to learn in a real-world scenario and adapt to changing demands, while encouraging them to use the critical thinking skills they have acquired through their degree programs to achieve their capstone project's goal.
At the end of the course, teams will present their proposals, prototypes, design-analysis, and technical solutions at the Senior Design Expo. Follow this link to learn more about the Senior Design Expo.
