Capstone design projects represent the culmination of undergraduate engineering training in UVA’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. In these team-based projects, fourth-year students apply their technical knowledge and professional skills to tackle real-world challenges, often in partnership with external stakeholders. Through a structured design process — from identifying needs to delivering tested solutions — students demonstrate their abilities in engineering, communication, collaboration, and teamwork. Capstones prepare students for success in their chosen professions.
Fourth-year electrical and computer engineering students presented capstone projects at the end of the fall semester.
