What is Capstone? (How Capstone Works)
Capstone
The Capstone program is a two-semester educational program that enables cross-functional student teams to work on real, industry-sponsored projects. Each team is assigned a faculty coach and works closely with a liaison engineer from the sponsoring company. The Capstone student teams have access to the expertise of university departments and facilities, including significant CAD, rapid prototyping, machining, and engineering laboratories.
Capstone student teams take real life projects from concept generation and modeling to working prototype. All documentation, drawings, and prototypes are provided to the sponsoring company. In addition, BYU grants all intellectual property developed to the sponsoring company.
