Sponsored Research

All ABET accredited undergraduate engineering degree programs have a capstone design experience, where fourth-year students work in teams of three to six students for one or two semesters on a practical design project. The best projects are usually provided by industry sponsors and represent real world problems needing to be solved.

The objective of the sponsored research program is to facilitate the connections between the fluid power industry and their nearby engineering programs to sponsor capstone design projects with fluid power content. This is a joint project with NFPA.

If you are interested in sponsoring a capstone design project, contact Mike Gust at 612-624-4956 or send him an email.
