Senior Design Projects

All senior students within the School of Engineering complete a capstone project. The School seeks industrial partners willing to participate in a relationship that will bring your organization, the Penn State Behrend School of Engineering, and a team of students together in a problem-solving project that provides students with practical experiences and further develops their engineering education.

Sponsoring a senior design project can enable you to:

  • Explore the application of new technologies on back burner projects with low-cost and low-risk
  • Take a close look at creative and energetic students who may make great employees for your company in the future
  • Draw from faculty expertise in a variety of disciplines
  • Take advantage of the resources and libraries of a world-class research university
  • Help the advancement of engineering education
