Capstone Projects and Group Assignments
EMEC489 Mechanical Engineering Capstone 1
ETME489 Mechanical Engineering Technology Capstone 1
Fall 2018
- Robb Larson, Associate Professor, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
- David Miller, Associate Professor, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
The modern engineering work environment requires planning and teamwork to ensure project success. Our capstone projects reflect this reality with heavy emphasis on teamwork and interdisciplinary efforts. A productive team capitalizes on the diverse strengths of its members to achieve a superior project result. Whether single-discipline or multi-disciplinary in makeup, each group is expected to complete all project work in a timely manner with full participation of all team mates. Project results and course grades depend on it!
