Foster talent and innovation through a fourth-year Capstone Design Project, in which students work with a faculty mentor to tackle a real-world problem. Industry partners can suggest a project topic, mentor students, or provide students with access to tools. Partners collaboratively develop ideas with students, while also introducing them to their products and business.
Capstone Design Projects focus on real-world application and serving the community as a whole. Project deliverables can include prototypes, research posters, demonstrations, documents and videos.
Capstone Design Projects normally take eight months to one year. At the end of the academic year, partners attend a project fair to learn from students' discoveries and meet talented fourth-year students.
