ME 481 is a required course for mechanical engineering majors at MSU.
The course provides students with a team-based capstone design experience in which they:
- Use the technical expertise, communication skills, and teaming methodologies they have learned throughout their mechanical engineering curriculum, together with their creativity, to solve real-world problems
- Collaborate with practicing engineers to address problems sponsored by industry
- Develop new products or re-design existing products to reduce costs or enhance reliability
- Interact with large, medium, and small companies in the automotive, defense, aerospace, consumer products, interior design and material processing industries.
For a list of the Spring 2020 projects, see our Design Day booklet (booklet pdf) describes our students’ projects and coming soon to Mechanical Engineering Projects.
