A team of students works with a real-world client on a real-world problem of value to the client. Most important, this is an opportunity to apply the team's
advanced engineering and management skills, including the specialized knowledge and skills needed to solve a real problem. In particular, team members must learn to work effectively with clients, quickly understand their problem, negotiate deliverables and then select, adapt and apply just the right amount of process and
documentation to meet clients' needs and effectively manage the project. Previous projects and project partners include:
