Every year, the Capstone Design@Mines program collaborates with industry, government agencies and community organizations to host nearly 100 senior student design teams who work on real-world engineering challenges in civil, electrical, mechanical, environmental and design engineering. Capstone prepares students for the workforce by emphasizing project management skills, leadership, teamwork, human-centered design and client-consultations. We are currently looking for partners who have design-focused engineering challenges for Mines’ seniors.
