Contact us about your project idea at mecheng450-coordinator@umich.edu. We are happy to help you scope a capstone design project.
Our lead instructors review every project idea and project brief. They also meet with potential partners, on request, to provide technical feedback.
If you are a student without a pre-established connection to a company that can sponsor your project, that is ok, we can help pair one for you. We encourage students with bright, creative ideas to fill out this short interest form even if you do not yet have a confirmed sponsor. If there is a company you would be excited to work with, we can reach out to help make it happen. All we ask is that you share a potential contact at the company who could serve as a liaison, based on your best research and judgement.
This can be a strong professional development opportunity to collaborate with a company you have set your sights on, even if you never had the chance to intern there during your time as a student, while also developing an outstanding ME 450 capstone project.
Submit project briefs by the end of July for fall projects, or by the end of November for winter projects.
