| About Students |
The Senior Capstone Design experience aims to bridge the gap between classroom and industry by requiring students to use their knowledge and skills to complete an engineering design project equivalent to the assignments they will soon receive as aspiring professional engineers. Projects are completed in groups, making it necessary for students to develop the skills needed to succeed in diverse industry design teams. Employers value graduates with capstone design experience because these students have gained broad experience by applying their extensive knowledge base to solve complex engineering problems as a team. Seniors also make significant professional contacts through design projects with industry participants, guest lecturers and the annual Engineering Project Showcase.
Student Level: Bachelor Degree Student Time Commitment: Full Time Team Structure: 4 - 6 |
|
| Program Goals | Courses use industry-based team projects and professional interaction to equip future engineers with important design, communication and presentation experience, and are the culmination of the Texas A&M engineering experience, as seniors apply their four years of classroom knowledge to solve realistic engineering problems. The courses prepare our engineering students to use advanced technology to analyze and design engineering elements and systems according to industry standards.

77843 Regional (within 90 miles) We typically like to work with organizations based regionally so the students can engage in site visits and get to know organizations more deeply through in-person collaboration throughout the program. That said, we have and will engage in fully virtual collaborations for organizations that are interested.
