ENGINEERING PROJECT II

AIM

The Capstone Project gives Engineering students the opportunity to put their education into a practical working system that demonstrates how theory is applied. Engineering students, working in small teams, design, build, and present a challenging engineering design project. Challenging projects are proposed and supported by IMU faculty research groups or by industry. Projects typically involve design and implementation of both hardware and software systems. However, for Computer Engineering software projects are preferred. The projects span a variety of topics in the field of engineering, including for example computer vision, artificial intelligence, algorithms design, machine learning, and autonomous systems.
