This year, the Management Engineering's Capstone Design Symposium is showcasing the capstone design projects of fifteen teams of senior students. Each of these teams has tackled an emergent problem, in many cases sourced from a client company, with far-reaching implications in industries and areas as diverse as education, retail, manufacturing, software, non-profits, airlines, government, fashion, and self-improvement.
Themes of this year’s projects include data analytics, data-driven decision-making and the design of systems that leverage this information into effective products and solutions. In order to create these comprehensive tools, management engineering projects are often highly multidisciplinary, drawing from concepts in information systems, process design, behavioral science, mathematical modelling and optimization, and data science.
There are many projects to discover, take a look at the 2019 Management Engineering Capstone Design Projects.
