  Sponsor a Capstone Project
  Capstone is a required, two-semester course for senior-level students, the heart of which is designing, testing, and prototyping a real-world industry engineering challenge. Multi-disciplinary teams of students from Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, and Computer Engineering work on hardware and software projects across a wide range of industries. 
  
  Each team is assigned a faculty coach and works with a liaison engineer from the sponsoring company. Research indicates that students work harder and more creatively when their projects are authentic and of real consequence to a company.
