This year, students from the School of Public Policy will be participating in the Capstone Design Expo.
Past expos have witnessed projects which have yielded significant results for our industry sponsors, saving some of them upwards of millions of dollars in research and development costs. The networking experience for students gives them the opportunity to make a lasting first impression on potential employers, while others have even walked away with an invitation to come and visit a potential employment opportunity with some of our sponsors.
