A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
I am delighted to present to you the 2022 Management Engineering Capstone Design Course projects.
Our fourth-year Management Engineering students have successfully completed 15 amazing designs after 12 months of hard work to identify problems in a range of emerging fields, conduct in-depth analyses, and design effective solutions.
As always, I am extremely proud of the work completed by our students, and wish to acknowledge the resilience and perseverance demonstrated by this cohort as they collaborated remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. I give them my loudest applause and sincerest congratulations. I also wish to thank each team’s faculty mentor who served as an advisor and provided valuable guidance throughout the capstone journey.
Our Management Engineering students are gifted and well-prepared to use their skills and knowledge to serve the world. If your organization is interested in working with a management engineering team in the coming years, please contact our capstone design course instructor and coordinator, Ada Hurst, as detailed at the end of this brochure.
Capstone projects are showcases of the talent and creativity of our students. They are an indispensable part of our Management Engineering program. I hope you enjoy learning about the impressive student projects!”
