  • Your company gains brand awareness with top-tier engineering students

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Capstone Design Program is part of the undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum, and follows a two-semester sequence. The program matches a team of motivated senior undergraduate mechanical engineering students with a multi-disciplinary project defined and funded by an industry sponsor.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

  • $17,500 for a team of four to six Engineers for two semesters
  • $5,000 is set aside for materials

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

Once a project is underway, the sponsor’s primary point of contact will be the project advisor, who is often a Mechanical Engineering Faculty member. An engineer from the industry sponsor is invited to serve as an advisor or co-advisor if they wish.
