Industrial and systems engineering seniors bring all that they’ve learned as undergraduates to the table in a culminating capstone project.
The Design of Engineering Systems course begins in the spring semester of junior year where student teams research and select a challenging design problem to pursue. The final projects incorporate building prototypes and developing the technology systems to support the project. Students also present their research to a panel of judges that include industry representatives and faculty.
