Become a Capstone Team Mentor
Senior Capstone Design is a culminating experience of electrical and computer engineering undergraduate education, integrating knowledge from all previous courses. Working in teams, the students incorporate technical knowledge along with economic, environmental, social, ethical, safety, and health.
The Senior Capstone Design Expo is both a platform to showcase team projects to faculty, staff, alumni, family and friends and an opportunity to celebrate hard work, achievement and success.
If you are interested in engaging students in specific projects, please email the Undergraduate Director, Prof. Sasan Haghani at sasan.haghani@rutgers.edu, a short description of the project and what background the students need to have to participate. We'll share that information with Capstone teams.
