College capstone projects challenge senior undergraduate students in their final year before graduation to demonstrate that their academic journeys have infused them with the knowledge, ingenuity and work ethic to devise and carry out ambitious research projects that offer viable solutions to real-world problems.
Capstone teams must also clearly and convincingly communicate their ideas and solutions to stakeholders involved in the projects.
The recent Fulton Schools of Engineering Capstone Showcase at Arizona State University exhibited students’ efforts to fulfill those expectation.
A total of 159 teams, most with three to five members, displayed posters presenting details of their proposals to solve substantive problems through applications of electrical, mechanical, industrial and biomedical engineering, computer systems engineering, computer science and software engineering, informatics and engineering management.
