The UW Electrical & Computer Engineering’s ENGineering INnovation and Entrepreneurship (ENGINE) capstone program is the culmination of a student’s electrical and computer engineering education. The ENGINE program was created to enable students to work in teams on industry sponsored projects. At the end of the academic year, students present their projects to peers, industry professionals and faculty in our ENGINE Showcase event. For more detailed information, please see our ENGINE page.
