Industry Sponsored Engineering Capstone Design

The Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC) is dedicated to supporting and strengthening individual program capstone design projects and fostering multidisciplinary capstone design projects.

Our engineering disciplines have a rich history of using industry developed and sponsored projects for student capstone design projects. The EEIC builds on this by being a conduit for industries who want to connect with Ohio State, by assisting them to link with appropriate programs and faculty.

Our engineering programs offer capstone design opportunities to engineering students as a requirement for graduation. Our Engineering Education Innovation Center provides support for individual program capstone design projects and fosters the coordination of multidisciplinary capstone design projects. One way the EEIC executes this support is by facilitating industry sponsorship of capstone design projects.

The EEIC collaborates with engineering departments to support capstone projects specifically intended to be multidisciplinary. The multidisciplinary capstone design course option forms a three-quarter course sequence that features industry sponsored projects in a team setting, and is open to students across all engineering disciplines. The course integrates design skills and engineering practice with a focus on actual design challenges presented and supported by industry partners.
