Engineering Innovation and Leadership (E-Lead) Capstone Senior Design Project
The UTEP Engineering Innovation and Leadership (E-Lead) 9-month Capstone Senior Design Project is a much deeper project than a typical senior capstone. Our E-Lead teams will work on significant projects for an industry sponsor for their full senior year. The projects are in the category of what we’d call “Class II” for a company: not your critical path projects, but projects that have good potential upside if only you had the time or people available to look into them, such as product enhancements, manufacturing challenges, user interface improvements, possible new products that need exploration, etc. The project is modeled after the “SCOPE" Senior Design Teams at Olin College in Boston. As a result, the processes implemented within E-Lead Senior teams can have a substantial impact. E-Lead Senior Design entails a significant commitment from the students (a full-year course with substantial internal and external deliverables), from the sponsor (a liaison to interact with the team), and from UTEP’s E-Lead program (a strong structure in place to support the teams; each team has a faculty advisor, bi-weekly design reviews, project management training, workspace, budgets to purchase materials, full use of the machine shop and support, etc.).For an example of past projects, please visit here.

In these courses, junior-level learners are ready to apply their skills to real-world challenges. In this course, students engage in the human-centered design process, exploring from interactions with people to developing products that shape the future. They seek opportunities to build skills in engineering design, problem-solving, and leadership while addressing meaningful projects.As an employer, your role is crucial in guiding and supporting learners through their project journey. You'll communicate regularly, provide necessary information, and offer constructive feedback to student groups collaborating on projects via the Riipen platform. Your virtual presence at the final presentation will ensure a comprehensive understanding of the student's achievements.
