BYU Capstone Projects
Brigham Young University’s Capstone course has gained a reputation as one of the finest student mentoring experiences of its type in the country.
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 for a company sponsor.
BYU Engineering Capstone team builds heat-efficient Gers in Mongolia that reduce pollution.
Character
Code of Conduct
BYU students commit to live the highest standards of conduct and adhere to the values of the university’s affiliated organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Service-Oriented & Community-Minded

BYU Engineering Together
BYU Engineering Together (BE Together) is the title given to the College’s organized effort to foster an environment of belonging for all our students. We highlight outstanding students, host events fostering collaboration, provide support and resources, and connect students to research mentorships. We also help students utilize the resources of the University’s Office of Belonging.
