Senior capstone projects
Our undergraduate program culminates in a capstone design course where students work in teams to develop innovative engineering projects designed for industry or community partners.
If it moves, a mechanical engineer probably had something to do with it.
From automobiles, airplanes and space shuttles to robots, artificial limbs and biochips – all moving and transforming our future.
