Seniors in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ (MAE) at Mizzou conclude their coursework with a semester-long capstone project. Through these capstones, students apply their classroom learning to develop prototypes to solve real-world issues.
The experience gives students the hands-on preparation they need to be successful after graduation.
Below are the MAE capstone projects from the Spring 2022 semester. Take a few moments to learn how mechanical engineers develop solutions to real engineering problems.
