ME Capstone Design

Capstone Design is a culminating, project-based course that serves as the pinnacle of the academic experience of undergraduate students at the UH Cullen College of Engineering. It is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application and offers a unique opportunity for the students to apply the knowledge and skills they’ve acquired throughout their studies.

Capstone students engage in a hands-on, real-world project that challenges them to solve complex problems, innovate, and collaborate with peers and industry professionals. The projects require them to integrate knowledge from their field of study, think critically, and develop creative solutions. It is a unique opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities, gain valuable insights, develop leadership skills and group dynamics, learn how to handle scheduling conflicts while meeting weekly deliverables and deadlines, and develop strong communication skills.

At the end of each semester students showcase their efforts at the Capstone Design Conference held on the UH Campus to a panel of judges, invited guest, media and their peers. This is an excellent opportunity for sponsors to see how their project was conceptualized by the UH Engineering student teams.
