Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering Department
The Capstone Design Project in the senior year is a great opportunity for students to work on a project of their own choosing. EE and CpE majors work individually, or in small teams, with a faculty member or local ECE professional for a 30 week duration. BME majors work on team projects in consultation with professionals from the Center for Disability Services and Albany Medical College for a 20 week duration. There have been many interesting projects over the years and you can explore these using the links provided.
