The engineering technology curriculum includes a Capstone Design project. It is a two-semester sequence, LST 409 and 410 for the BS LST and CPT 409 and 410 for the BS CPT program.
The courses include lectures and assigned work on the major topics in design. Students are organized into teams of four to six students, and each team is assigned a project for the two-semester sequence. Each team is expected to organize and carry out the design tasks. Faculty and industry sponsors serve as advisors.
Projects:
The program would seek proposals for projects to assign to the student teams. Projects need to allow substantial design and conceptualization potential, not merely design changes of scale or duplication of existing systems. It must be possible to complete them within the two-semester time-frame.
Industry representatives would define the project requirements and provide guidance to the student team during the semester. These projects are often those that the company needs to have completed, but they do not have the resources to complete or are willing to treat them as “back-burner” needs. Sometimes the project can provide an opportunity for a fresh look at efforts underway within the company. The company needs to identify a resource person within the firm to answer student questions, meet with the student team periodically for progress reviews and attend the final presentation at the end of the semester. We would address any requirements for confidentiality with industry sponsors when needed.
How you can help?
We seek brief proposals for possible projects. All we need is a paragraph or two describing the project requirements. We will contact potential sponsors for any required clarification. If the project seems to be a good fit, we will present it to student teams. The students will contact sponsors during the year to define a project plan and carry out the work.
