Senior capstone project

In the College of Engineering, hands-on learning starts on day one. The first engineering class, Engineering 100, will challenge you to work in teams and the engineering design process. In your final class before you graduate, you will work in a team to develop a project that’s ready for industrial engineering implementation. Your senior capstone project will be presented to potential employers at the annual Innovation Day. In between, you’ll gain hands-on experience in classrooms and research laboratories, putting your engineering skiils and knowledge to work solving important societal problems and creating innovative products and services.
