Senior Capstone Design

The Senior Capstone Design Project helps senior engineering students strengthen their skills as they complete their bachelor degrees. Each project has to be a non-commercialized unique idea. With support from the Mechanical Engineering faculty, students have a year to create, design, analyze, prototype and test their ideas.
