Each year all senior students undertake an intensive year-long team design project in the Senior CapstoneDesign program.
This culminating design project begins in the Fall semester of the senior year when interdisciplinary project teams of four to six students are formed, and students start research on an assigned project. All projects have an internal or external customer who defines the problem to solve. Teams create a requirements document, carry their design through the "on-paper" design phase, and then begin hands-on work in the lab to implement and validate their design.
Faculty mentor students throughout the process and keep teams on schedule. The projects culminate with multimedia group presentations in the spring to which parents, faculty, students, and industry representatives are invited.
If you or your company is interested in partnering with the senior capstone program, please contact James Brooks, department chair.
