About the Program
What is it?
A capstone design experience for students in Electrical & Computer Engineering.
What do they do?
Design, build, and test a solution to a real-world engineering problem in a team environment. The solution could be hardware/software based, or a combination of both.
How big are the teams?
Design teams are multi-disciplinary and consist of between 2 and 4 students, but may be larger depending on the scope of the particular project. A computer engineer is normally assigned to each team, unless specifically not required in the project. Typical projects are estimated at 900 to 1,200 engineering hours, including design, build, and test.
Where do projects come from?
Capstone design projects are company sponsored. The projects are real-world problems, providing real-world design experience for the students.
