Student Capstone Design Projects
Students participate in industry-sponsored capstone design projects with industry mentors and faculty. The capstone design project helps students to integrate the technical concepts learned in the courses they have taken. The experience aims to impart a foundation in team leadership and project management ability that will allow graduate to move with purpose, positively impacting the concerns they will soon face.
