Project Assignments
Capstone Senior Design students will be assigned to a project and project team early during the fall semester. Project assignments are based on:
- Project needs and preferences of project sponsors
- Faculty recommendations and assessment of student skills
- Student interests and project rankings
Although the College of Engineering strives to match students to projects they are most interested in, there is no guarantee that a student can be assigned to a particular project or project group.
