All mechanical engineering students must undertake a capstone project in their senior year. The capstone projects are part of the 2-quarter Mechanical Engineering Design I & II course that is offered in Fall-Winter or in Winter-Spring. Students are guided by lecture material, mentors, and TAs while they work on their projects in teams of 3-6. The Department is always interested in collaborating with industry and/or community mentors who would like to have students work on an open-ended design project. An introduction to the mechanical engineering capstone projects program is available here. Please reach out to Professors Mark Walter (m.walter@uci.edu) or David Copp (dcopp@uci.edu) if you have any questions.
