May 1 8:30 a.m.- 3 p.m.
Welcome to the Fourth Annual Capstone Open House, May 1, 2026!
We will showcase more than 300 students presenting 75+ projects. In addition to exciting capstone projects in individual technical disciplines, the event will also feature convergence capstone projects. Convergence empowers students to pursue curiosity, build meaningful cross-disciplinary connections, and generate real value and positive societal impact through collaboration.
The Capstone Open House reflects our students’ talent, academic preparation, innovation, and creativity in solving problems that matter.
Thank you for joining us today!
Sincerely yours,
Kris Maillacheruvu, PhD, PE
Interim Dean of the Foster College of Business and Caterpillar College of Engineering and Technology
