[quote=Anonymous]Do these programs have any sort of capstone project? At my engineering school all of the seniors had to participate in a year long interdisciplinary capstone project. The mix of engineering disciplines depended on the needs of the project. Each project had a budget and a client. For instance, my husband's team had to design a new automated plasma welder for a certain type of welding joint, which hadn't been previously automated. There were 2 EEs who did the circuitry, 2 CompEs who wrote the automation, a CivE who analyzed the strength of the resulting welds, and 2 MechEs who built the robot. They had a 25k budget and 9 months. They sold the design and working prototype to the client for 50k, with the profit to the school. These projects had to be completed to graduate. It was a defining part of the becoming an engineer.[/quote]
