What is UTDesign Capstone?
UTDesign Capstone is a program that provides our senior engineering and computer science students with a meaningful experience on their Capstone project by partnering with industry to create solutions to real-world engineering and computer science problems. Sponsored UTDesign Capstone projects are proposed and mentored by companies. Students not only get to work on a real company project, but also gain valuable experience working in an environment similar to that of their industry mentor(s).

How are project stations assigned?
Each team is assigned a project station for the duration of the project. Project stations include work and storage space, as well as necessary equipment, as applicable. Table assignment is done by the UTDesign Studio shop manager, Gene Woten, in collaboration with the appropriate faculty director.
What is a typical project’s scope and timeline?
Computer Science and Software Engineering (CS) projects are one semester for each project team; however, if the scope of the project is two semesters, one project team will complete assigned deliverables in their semester, and a second project team will continue the project and complete assigned deliverables in their semester.
Biomedical (BMEN), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering (ME) or any combination of CS, BMEN, ECE and ME projects are two semesters in duration.
The scope should be similar to what you would expect one full-time intern to accomplish in the same amount of time. Our UTDesign Faculty Directors will gladly work with you and have the experience to “right-size” the scope to increase the likelihood of success.
