Capstone Design Expo: Looking Back to Foresee What's Ahead

On April 24, 2014 at the McCamish Pavillion, more than 900 seniors from across Georgia Tech will showcase their final senior design projects at the Capstone Design Expo. The Senior Design (Capstone Design) course, a culmination of undergraduate education, teaches students about the design process and allows them one last opportunity to truly take advantage of Georgia Tech’s numerous resources to launch their own venture, solve a social need, or work with an industry sponsor.
