This is something we care about.
The University of Arizona Engineering Interdisciplinary Capstone provides an unparalleled experience to undergraduate engineering students at the University of Arizona – and to real engineering companies. Every year, this program features more advanced design by our senior engineers on a wider array of projects from our sponsors. We’re making huge advancements in relationships with industry and creating the best foundation that a young engineer can have: hands-on, real-world experience.
