Capstone Design Projects
Class of 2025 Environmental Engineering seniors working on their capstone project.
During their last year, seniors conduct two-semester capstone design projects within ENGR 381/382/383 and ENGR 391/392/393. Each project is industry-sponsored. Through the Combined Capstone Lab, student teams have dedicated space for their projects and videoconferencing capability. Each week, the student teams videoconference with their industry Sponsor.
