Capstone Catalyst Program

Supporting Innovative Engineering Capstone Projects

Funded by the Esch Foundation 

Turn your capstone project into something bigger. Capstone Catalyst helps engineering students design innovative, high-impact projects with real-world potential, supported by Esch Foundation funding and the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business.  

Through hands-on workshops, you’ll learn how to: 

  • Identify meaningful, real-world problems worth solving 

  • Explore market potential and customer needs early 

  • Apply practical business and innovation tools in manageable steps 

  • Build momentum for your capstone across academic terms 

Who can participate?

  • Engineering students in 3B and 4A terms 
  • 4A students are eligible for seed funding to jump-start their capstone projects and explore commercial viability
