2019-2020 Capstone Gallery

The 53 capstone design projects of the 2019-2020 academic cycle are listed in the order in which they were presented during the April 27 - May 1, 2020 week of Final Prototype Project Presentations. Each team submitted a project poster the week before the presentations. The posters are accessible through appropriate links within each project "tile" below. This was an unusual year for The Capstone Design Program because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Project physical realization was halted on March 16, 2020 when the University shut down the Campus and moved operations and classes online. The outcomes found in the gallery reflect the status of the project physical realization on that date. All final presentations of the projects were conducted synchronously online.
