Senior capstone project

In the College of Engineering, hands-on learning starts on day one. The first engineering class, Engineering 100, will challenge you to work in teams to design a hovercraft capable of traversing across a pre-set course. And in your final class before you graduate, you will work in a team to develop a product that’s ready for the marketplace. Your senior capstone project will be presented to potential employers at the annual Innovation Day, In between, you’ll gain hands-on experience in classrooms and research laboratories, putting your science and mathematical knowledge to work solving engineering problems.

My favorite class that I took as a part of my major would probably be CS 330 which is the Design Patterns course. This is my favorite class because I’ve already had interview questions that pertain directly to the content from this class. The class itself was very enjoyable and the projects were all so fun to do!
