THE CAPSTONE

EXPERIENCE

A culminating engineering design

experience that enables JMU studentsto address a real-world need through

the application of a design process,

design methods, systems thinking,

and sustainability perspectives.

The experience spans two-years (junior

and senior years) with students working

in teams of four to six. During the

spring students unveil their work

during Symposium Day that

includes a formal design report and

presentation to faculty, peers, industry

representatives, and other external

community members.
