Capstone Project
The Integrated Project Course is the capstone of the T&M curriculum. It is
taken in the spring semester of the second year. Projects are provided by
corporate affiliates. They deal with real problems of significant issue to the
sponsor and typically involve engineering, finance, accounting, and marketing.
Interdisciplinary teams of six students are assigned to each project. These
teams work with program faculty advisors and representatives of the sponsors to
develop detailed, implementable solutions. Students are required to enter into
non-disclosure agreements with their project sponsor due to the confidential and
strategic nature of the projects.
Student teams typically travel to the sponsor's location to learn about the
business and meet company employees with whom they will work. Students then work
remotely holding frequent status meetings with their sponsors. At the end of the
course, project presentations are provided by the student team to senior
managers of the sponsoring company.
