Advisory Prerequisite: MFG 502 and permission of instructor. Enforced Prerequisite: None. (3 credits) Provides immersive, hands-on experience through a capstone project where students solve real-world engineering design challenges in interdisciplinary, often industry-collaborative teams. Emphasizing systems thinking, they integrate subsystems to balance performance, cost, reliability, and sustainability. Students refine project management, communication, and teamwork skills while applying advanced tools and methods in industrial systems and design engineering. Each project culminates in a comprehensive report and formal presentation to faculty, industry partners, and other stakeholders.
