What is the MIE Senior Capstone Project?
The Mechanical and Industrial Engineering department at UMass Amherst has a history of strong relationships with industry sponsors for its undergraduate Senior Capstone Design program. These industry-sponsored projects provide real-world experiential opportunities to our students and provide highly attractive employees to industry. The multitude of synergistic activities during the capstone experience between the diverse team of industry, faculty, and peer-students associated with the program help students to think critically, communicate clearly, work collaboratively, address global issues, and explore innovative ideas to solve practical problems—the exact suite of tools that will enable them to become future leaders.
