Capstone Projects
Every graduating senior is required to complete ME/EGM 391 and 392, Senior Projects I and II.
This is a capstone course designed to synthesize all skills and knowledge students have learned as Wilkes mechanical engineering students and to demonstrate their capabilities to a general audience. Students work as members of a team to design and develop selected projects in the field of mechanical engineering under the direction of a faculty mentor.
The project team parallels that found in industry. Students accept roles according to their skills and specialties and contribute to make the team and project successful as a whole. Students are involved with their projects from concept to completion. Teams manage all aspects of the project, such as formulating the idea, transferring the design to paper, accounting for design constraints, adhering to standards and specifications, selecting materials, procuring products, considering economic factors, building the prototype, and presenting their results. Some projects have been so innovative and marketable that students have turned their ideas into successful businesses.
