Capstone Overview
Each year, hundreds of engineering teams in the College of Engineering participate in senior capstone projects as part of degree requirements for their major. Senior capstone projects provide students with opportunities to collaborate on team projects and apply their knowledge and skills in developing innovative design solutions for real world problems. Capstone teams include 4-6 senior engineering students and capstone project deliverables may include conceptual designs, engineering analysis studies, hardware/software prototypes, and test data. Capstone sponsors include industry, goverment organizations, non profits, and faculty.
Maker Space
Students have access to the Fischer Engineering Design Center, 60,000-square-foot state-of the-art facility, which provides access to resources such as: fabrication center(CNC, Mills, lathes, other), prototype center (various types of 3D printers, PCD board milling, reflow, surface mount soldering), parts library, and support from experienced staff.
Timeline for Sponsoring a Capstone Project
For capstone projects starting in the fall semester, submit your topic by June 30. For capstone projects starting in the spring semester, submit your topic by November 30.
Engineering Project Showcase
If you have never sponsored a capstone project, join us for one of the Engineering Project Showcase events (fall or spring) as a judge to see hundreds of examples. These events showcase the work of more than 1,500 engineering students.
Contractual Agreements
Texas A&M offers several contractual options to accommodate industry needs for confidentiality, intellectual property, and deliverables in sponsored capstone projects.
