Capstone Project in Industry
Capstone Project in Industry听is an opportunity for our students to demonstrate their Industrial Engineering skills in a real world setting. Our clients are local organizations looking for innovative solutions to challenging problems.听
Starting in听late August, the Capstone Project in Industry site听will be accessible to those who have听registered for the course. Potential projects will be posted on this site at least听one week prior to classes.听(This site also serves as the official communication site for current students once classes have started.)
The projects are carried out as a demonstration of the capability of the teams to act as Professional Engineers. Teams should be aware of the 听serve the needs of regulators, engineering license holders, and applicants for licensure by enabling the assessment of engineering qualifications, fostering excellence in engineering practices and regulation, and facilitating mobility.
Highlights for interested clients
- Projects start in early September and must be completed by early April.
- Students normally work in teams of three to four.
- Students review all potential projects and identify their preferences - so projects are usually matched up well with student interest.听 The program manager makes the final assignments.
- The client identifies the problem to be studied - our students then determine the scope of the project (and their deliverables) in consultation with the client.
- Students have no scheduled classes on Wednesdays, so they can be on site all day (although occasionally they may opt to work here in our labs if appropriate).
- We sometimes receive more projects than we have student teams, so unfortunately there is no guarantee that a submitted project will be undertaken.
- Clients must pay students' travel expenses and a $60 fee for printing and copying.听 There is no charge for students' or faculty time, nor for the use of our facilities for project work.
