Capstone Education Overview
The Capstone Program within the School of Engineering Technology (SoET) is designed to enhance educational experiences rather than replace professional engineering services. While we cannot guarantee project success, we pledge our steadfast dedication and hard work on every project we take on.
Partners Program for Capstone Education
SoET's Capstone Program offers students the chance to engage in the development of new products. By working alongside industry partners, students can take part in innovative projects, gaining invaluable experience in creating advanced solutions.
