Capstone and Senior Design Projects

Does your company have a backburner project it would love to try but has always seemed just beyond the reach of your time and resources? It could be a perfect opportunity to partner with our students for a senior capstone or research project.

Partnership Project Possibilities

Tap into our Talent

Creative and energetic students want to solve your authentic problems. Project proposals can be submitted at any time. Most design programs have an annual cycle that starts with the academic year, near the end of August. Projects received before the first day of classes will be included in the upcoming academic year. Those submitted after will be considered, but their use may be delayed. While the majority of projects start at the beginning of the academic year, we do have some capstone sequences that begin in December and March.

We hope you can identify a project and support our program!
