Capstone Senior Design with Industry-Sponsored Projects

Senior design is an industry sponsored, year-long, hands-on engineering design and build project required of all senior undergraduate students. Senior design takes students all the way from concept, through engineering and testing, to presenting a working prototype to their industry sponsor. Fall is the start of the project and involves prototype design. In the Spring, students build and test those prototypes before presenting them to the Sponsor. Learn more about Senior Design.
