Connecting Students and Industry Through Challenging Projects
Senior Design is a capstone option.
Our Senior Design program connects students and industry through challenging projects that have an open-ended design solution. You’ll work with other students on a small team, and make the project your top priority throughout your senior year. A faculty advisor for each team provides the right balance of instruction and coaching, enabling you to learn by doing. Teams have access to state-of-the-art design and collaboration tools, as well as dedicated fabrication facilities, labs, and design studios.
Senior Design functions more like a “first job” than a “last class”—providing the kind of relevant design experience that can launch you into a rewarding, successful career.
