About
UTDesign Capstone Model
At our cutting-edge Engineering and Computer Science Capstone Program, we are all about tuning visionary concepts into real-world triumphs. Our program embodies this ethos by placing a premium on the hands-on application of engineering and computer science knowledge. Our exceptional students are the champions of these fields, and we ensure that their ideas and innovations yield substantial results for our industry partners.
A highlight of the Undergraduate program is the required Capstone during their senior year. This is where our students get the chance to team up with industry pros and conquer actual design challenges, all while preparing for a successful career in engineering and computer science.
