A semester-long capstone project concludes coursework for seniors in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. During these projects, students work together in teams to study real world challenges and offer recommendations to those problems. The experience gives students the hands-on preparation they need to be successful after graduation.
Below are the EECS capstone projects from the Spring 2022 semester.
