Systems Engineering Capstone Marketplace

Abstract : The goal of this project was to continue to investigate methods and means to further the SERC Capstone Marketplace that was established in previous SERC research in RT-19/19a, RT-43, & RT-105. Having shown that multidisciplinary capstone programs can enhance development of systems engineering competencies, Capstone Marketplace, an online tool, intends to continue matching multi-disciplinary student teams with challenging engineering projects. While web based tools exist for matching students to projects at individual institutions, the Capstone Marketplace is intended to enable broader participation amongst systems engineering institutions with the capability of participating in undergraduate level capstone projects. The report provides the procedures for the process and lessons learned within the 2015 period.
