Project-based Real World Learning Experience
The NCE Engineering Capstone program is a project-based learning experience where students work in multi-disciplinary teams to address real world problems faced by a business, government, agency, or non-profit.
The student teams work directly with a contact at a company to learn about the project and develop and design actionable solutions.
Through the program students gain real-world work experience, problems solving skills, and valuable team experience. The company mentor or sponsor meets with the students throughout the semester to monitor progress and answer questions.
It’s a perfect way to use the eco-system of a research university and a cohort of bright undergraduate students to augment your resources and maintain a lead over your competition.
