ISyE >> Academics >> Undergraduate >> Senior Design Projects

All seniors in the Stewart School of ISyE culminate their undergraduate educational experience with a capstone course called Senior Design. This course provides students with firsthand experience at solving real-world problems in a team environment. Student teams select a major design project from a company or not-for-profit organization and exploit all available resources in order to develop a solution for the project client.

Senior Design is a unique opportunity for organizations to partner and interact with ISyE undergraduate students, and is truly a win-win collaboration for both ISyE undergraduate students and our industry partners. It provides students with a design experience similar to current ISyE professional practice and industry with new methodologies and innovative approaches to attach their problems.
