Senior capstone design projects in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
A culmination of the four-year B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, the MIE’s capstone design course develops and refines students’ abilities to plan, organize, and execute an engineering design project, evaluate design alternatives with supporting engineering analysis, apply appropriate engineering standards, assess and optimize designs from the customer perspective, and present final designs.
The Senior Design Showcase is the touchstone of MIE’s capstone design course, in which students apply their full engineering education to solve new and important problems and present their results. Judges score the teams on their ability to capture the needs of their customers, convert those needs into engineering specifications, apply engineering analysis to generate multiple designs or models, realize them, and evaluate how well those designs or models meet the original customer needs.
