Senior Capstone Projects

Each year, WCE seniors are put into groups and paired with industry partners to work on a hands-on project over the course of a semester or the year.  This project allows them to apply what they learned in the classroom in a workplace environment, mentored by industry experts. They present their projects during WCE Day at the end of the spring semester.

Being an industry mentor for a senior project is a great way to get a sense for students' skills and professionalism. Employers often end up hiring the students who worked on their projects.

• Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, & Environmental Engineering: Seneshaw Tsegaye, Ph.D.
