Capstone Snapshot

Most of the software projects you have developed throughout your academic career are likely individual projects. However, most industry projects are much larger and are consequently developed by teams.

The Software Engineeering Casptone, CSCI E-599 , course aims to fill this gap by developing and deploying a significant semester-long software engineering project with a team of no more than five people.  The project includes the requirements gathering, planning, designing, coding, testing, documentation, and release stages of the software development lifecycle.  Accompanying lectures aim to provide timely concepts from the software engineering body of knowledge as they relate to the course project. 

The course includes best practices, project management concepts, and introduces many of the current tools that assist software project teams.  The final projects are presented to a faculty panel at the end of the semester.  Most of the projects in recent years have been presented at conferences.

Course Sequencing

CSCI E-599 is offered in the spring semester as an online live web conference course. You ordinarily take the course as your final, one and only remaining degree requirement. At a minimum, you need to have completed at least 36 credits, including the Software Design requirement, to be eligible for capstone registration.

Software engineering capstone projects demonstrate hands-on development experience

Diving in and developing a good idea takes confidence. Purdue Computer Science students possess that trait in abundance. Pursuing a capstone project is a completion marker for students’ coursework. In the Department of Computer Science, CS 40700 (Software Engineering Senior Project) is the capstone course which offers a hands-on development experience to seniors in the software engineering track of the computer science major.

Students use the knowledge, skills, processes, and tools that they have learned throughout their college career in a final professional project meant to solve a problem by creating a software solution.

The course instructor is Professor H.E. Dunsmore , along with graduate student teaching assistants (TAs); Eliz Tekcan, Tulika Sureka, Sripath Mishra, and Disha Dudhal, guide the teams to achieve a level of quality the industry expects of professional software engineering projects. TAs also help the students by using their knowledge of real-world software development practices. Each serves as the project coordinator for 4-5 teams, helping teams to formulate a design, implementation, and project plan. 

Eliz Tekcan also serves as head TA, coordinating five teams, while also mentoring and guiding the other teaching assistants. Every team is comprised of four to six students, this semester’s class consisted of 87 students, in teams of four to six, for a total of 18 teams. 

“This is my favorite part of the semester,” said Tekcan, “because we get to see how hard they worked on their final projects.” She added, “The projects we recognize at the end of the year always involve a well-communicating team developing every facet of their project, as well as technically skilled students putting their ideas into action.”

One of the benefits of capstone projects is to have another opportunity to create a long-term project with the help of others. Undergraduate, Razan Alkawai, said, "We used our previous experiences in classes as much as possible. Most of our team had good frontend experience from CS 30700 and internships. She added, “I had more backend experience, so our group divided the work based on our expertise. With frequent communication, we were able to complete our tasks efficiently."

Project work like these capstones can prepare a student for a future position. Seung Heon Lee said, "While working on our project, we learned the importance and power of planned documentation and deadlines.” He added, “The design documentation with the UI prototype enabled us to execute the same design style throughout the whole application. This experience of working with the standardized format will help us to provide high-quality future applications more stably."

Four teams from CS 40700 were identified by the instructors for demonstrating excellent quality and coding.

Ramya Mandyam Anandampullai, Razan Fouad Alkawai, Seung Heon Lee, and Jihyun Pyun created a plant care app that provides its users with general plant care information from a growing database based on the USDA plant API. The app allows users to track water times, sunlight exposure, and outside temperature exposure if they log information regularly. Existing plant care apps have premium paywalls and do not allow access to all features in one self-contained app. Tulika Sureka, graduate teaching assistant, served as the project coordinator for Snowdrop. Snowdrop was designed to address that using an intuitive interface and free-to-access features. The app also provides an in-app community section for users to exchange advice and ask questions.  Ramya Mandyam Anandampullai said, “The software principles we learned from CS30700 and past internships have taught us how to work efficiently in groups.” She added, we've also had experience in the technologies we used, which helped us develop features quicker, understand the time constraints required for each task better, and hence plan out the whole app in an efficient manner."

Boiler LiftUp 

Pooja Bhasker, Lucas Cope, Vaibbavi Senthil Kumar, Anisha Sinha, and Harim Song created an app that aims to combine various aspects of fitness into one platform. The app allows users to meet all of their fitness needs such as suggested workouts, nutrition tracking, stat tracking, as well as social networking. Sripath Mishra, graduate teaching assistant, served as the project coordinator for Boiler LiftUp. This app was specifically built for Purdue students who are trying to start lifting weights or continue on their fitness journey. After having their own experiences with multiple fitness apps, the Boiler LiftUp team was inspired to create a new app that helps students keep a comprehensive record of all things fitness.  Boiler LiftUp also helps students connect to find their gym buddies. Anisha Sinha said, "Boiler LiftUp was created to reignite a passion for fitness and health within the Purdue community while also promoting opportunities to connect socially with other students.”

Sukriti Rai, Qiren Zhao, Erpan Abuduwaili, Chunao Liu, and Hadrien Billaud created a web application that minimizes the steps interviewers must take while setting up technical interviews. Interviewers have to set up sites like Zoom and HackerRank, which require numerous steps. HackerTime includes the video and coding environments all on one site. This site also includes a quick and lightweight setup. Disha Dudhal served as the project coordinator. “Our team identified a problem students can face, and we used skills learned throughout our time here at Purdue to develop a solution,” said Hadrien Pierre Billaud. With the focus on minimization, simplicity, and taking some suggestions from actual interviewers, the HackerTime team designed this app to make the common interview process much smoother. “It’s still amazing when I look back at where we started, and how our ideas sprouted from a concept to actual software,” said Chunao Liu.

Chris Koehne, Ruoyang Ye, Tom Appenzeller, Rohan Shankar, Jackson Oriez, and Dion Peng created a feature for social media sites that provides users with statistics on their account usage, similar to a feature based on Spotify’s annual Wrapped feature. inSite provides statistics catered towards each social media, even providing the option for data to be stored and assessed over time. Head TA, Eliz Tekcan, served as the project coordinator for inSites. Team member, Tom Appenzeller, said, “Additional features like multi-factor authentication and OAuth identity verification provide a layer of security to the user.” He added, "With social media presence becoming an integral part of society, providing an objective perspective on someone's online appearance can be incredibly useful.”

The Capstone Project

At the end of the program, students partner with companies and labs to address complex and challenging machine learning and software engineering problems. Projects may be self-contained or part of a larger business initiative. Supervised by a faculty member, students will spend 10 hours a week working on their capstone for 16 weeks during their last spring semester.

Project Tracks

Projects may consist of software development, machine learning, mathematical modeling and simulations, and high-performance computing. Given the wide variety of student backgrounds, professional interests, and computational science topics covered in the MSSE program, the capstone projects will be classified into one of the following three professional interdisciplinary tracks:

A project on this track focuses on the research and development of a computational science application. Students understand the scientific problem at hand and the impact that their project will have in a particular field of science.

A project on this track focuses on the development of large-scale software libraries, tools, or computational applications relevant to molecular science. Students understand the need for scaling a given computational application, the computational complexity of applications and key kernels, and the impact that the project deliverables will have in a particular field of science.

A project on this track focuses on the development of a library or software package for computational sciences applying the best practices of software engineering and covering all elements of the software engineering cycle. Students understand the need for such a library or service to the computational science community.

Current Projects

Uncertainty quantification for ampl point predictions.

We will learn to use AMPL and train models for property prediction. We will explore uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods and evaluate the point predictions of the models. The success of a predictive model requires the uncertainty quantification (UQ) that measures how reliable a point prediction is. UQ is especially important for drug discovery as we explore chemical space beyond the training data distribution. Students will examine classic UQ methods used for chemical compounds, as well as modern UQ methods designed for neural network models. Finally, we will apply various visualization methods to present the prediction uncertainties.

CNNs and UNets for dementia prediction

ADNI is an open-source dataset for tracking the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in thousands of subjects. CNNs have demonstrated relative success in predicting a patient’s diagnosis from images alone but, so far, the anatomic connectivity between brain regions has been ignored. You will be evaluating the impact of considering the known anatomical connectivity between brain regions to predict diagnosis in this dataset by using open-source Graph Convolutional NNs, CNNs or UNets.

Inference of biophysical models of pathology transmission in Alzheimer’s disease

Mathematical biophysical models of pathology progression in Alzheimer's disease and other degenerative diseases have now been available for a decade. These models attempt to capture how tau and amyloid pathology will spread on the brain's anatomic connectivity network. We are offering a new project that will combine these biophysical models with AI/ML, such that the biophysical model's parameters are inferred using Simulation-Based Inference (SBI) or another neural network tool, to perform model inference. The student will be tasked with developing and extending this approach and applying it to both mouse brain and human brain pathology images. The end product will be a method that can infer these parameters in a patient and use it to produce future simulations of the patient's entire pathoprogression trajectory.

Machine Learning for Protein Folding Stability in De Novo Design

Utilizing a curated dataset of high-quality protein folding stabilities, this project aims to enhance de novo design and structure prediction tools by incorporating a predictive layer for protein folding stability. Students will develop machine learning models to achieve this and are expected to evaluate their method's performance in comparison to existing approaches where applicable.

Peptide Digest

To perform top-tier science and deliver discoveries efficiently, scientists must stay consistently apprised of the latest relevant publications. However, thoroughly reading these papers is time-consuming and can often be wasteful when the details of the publication don’t satisfy the claims of the abstract or other criteria used for reading selection. Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently been democratized and are capable of efficiently reading, summarizing, and parsing text. We propose to customize an LLM toward digesting large amounts of potentially impactful publications to deliver efficient summaries and metadata to researchers. This text can include a “priority” score based on input parameters relevant to the department of interest, here we’ll start with computational peptide research. The models can additionally report relevant metadata such as the number of compounds, diversity of the series, presence of unnatural amino acids, cyclicity, etc. Not only can this help identify the most impactful papers, but it can also help with public dataset selection for methods development. Researchers will aid in highlighting the highest details of interest and evaluating the quality of the results. This work can be done purely on non-proprietary data and could be highly publishable. Initial success with computational peptide research can be expanded to other domains. The work of the students can include the adaptation of a public model, the development of an API and web interface, and the automation of article scraping, digestion, and reporting.

10K Reports Sentiment analysis and validation

Sentiment analysis and validate the accuracy of sentiment analysis predictions made on 10K reports by comparing them with the actual financial performance of the company in the next quarter to see if our sentiment analysis could capture the next quarter's performance.

AI-Driven Therapeutic Target Identification

Numerous AI approaches have been developed to harness the data from high throughput assays, GWAS, and clinical records to identify novel therapeutic targets. More recently, LLMs have facilitated the target discovery process. The quickly growing list of published algorithms, each with strong performance demonstrated on particular tasks and datasets, poses a challenge for our computational team as we try to identify the best algorithms we can use to prioritize novel therapeutic targets we should invest in. For this project, you will select a few of the most promising algorithms to implement and compare head-to-head performance when applied to target prediction tasks in disease areas and pathways with different types and amounts of data available. Your goals are to 1) characterize the strengths and weaknesses of the target prediction approaches and 2) identify the most important data types for successful target prediction. As a stretch goal, you will have the opportunity to propose and evaluate an appropriately scoped enhancement to an existing algorithm if you have identified a compelling opportunity.

Cell Failure Mode

A battery company has collected data from its battery testing cycles for the pouch cells built to evaluate proprietary product performance and benchmark to leading industry standard products. Some of these cells fail in testing due to various reasons, and when this occurs it is important to take apart components of the cell with a structured teardown approach. There is limited capacity to complete the cell teardown process and collect images for these failed batteries. In this project, you will leverage advanced machine learning techniques, which may include convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), to predict cell failure based on early cell performance data, with a focus on materials-independent applications. The targeted approach involves transfer learning and anomaly detection methodologies to develop robust predictive models capable of identifying failure patterns across various cell types. We expect to utilize Python packages such as PyTorch for this project and once models are trained, they will be deployed, versioned, and monitored on the deployment server.

Chemical Components Classifications for Machine Learning Training

The training of machine learning models for fast data-driven properties prediction is essential in the search for new novel chemical structures for electrolyte components. The training sets need to have a wide distribution of different functional groups to accurately train our models for lab staff to filter and target the best possible chemical candidates for product development. You will be writing a Python program to classify a library of over 1,000,000 compounds to build a design space of chemical functionality classes and down-select to approximately 50,000 compounds for quantum mechanical properties calculations. Further, this approach will facilitate broadening the current library and balancing the chemical functionality families that are available to aid in producing a better training set for the ML model.

Past Capstone Projects

Implementation of a flexible parameterization interface for the pymatagen.io.openmm package.

A collaboration with LBNL. This capstone project focused on enhancing the functionality of an io extension library for pymatgen, implementing flexible parameterization for improved accuracy in high throughput molecular simulations. The primary challenge addressed was modeling the behavior of atoms and molecules that can alter their charge depending on their environment. To tackle this issue, the project developed an interface that allows users to utilize a flexible array of force fields, including polarizable force fields, which offer more accurate simulation and prediction of material properties. This improvement is particularly significant for functional materials, such as catalysts and batteries, that are not accurately modeled using non-polarizable force fields. The successful implementation of this interface has expanded the capabilities of the Materials Project, contributing to the advancement of materials design and discovery.

An Open-Source Web Application for Molecular Descriptor Libraries and Datasets

A collaboration with MolSSI. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have greatly accelerated the rate of molecular discovery. However, the distribution and availability of data for these molecules still need to be improved. We have developed an open-source web application for molecular libraries and databases to address this challenge. The application uses containerization (Docker) and open-source libraries to create a modular and extensible platform for accessing molecular descriptors. This effort will streamline the accessibility to descriptor data necessary for computational advancements. The application includes a web front-end built using React, a Python REST API backend, and a postgres database. Due to the open-source containerized nature of our application, it can easily be modified or extended for other applications or data sets. Our use case is the Kolossal viRtual dAtabase for moleKular descriptors of orgaNophosphorus (Kraken) database, which contains descriptors for monodentate organophosphorus(III) ligands. The main deliverables were updated documentation and website architecture, automated back-end REST API testing, a molecule neighbor search feature based on dimensionality reductions: PCAs and UMAP, and an updated substructure search page. The new web application aims to be easy to use, visually appealing, and packed with features that will make it a valuable resource for academic and industry researchers.

Integrating Industry Standard Rendering Techniques for Visualizing Solvation in Molecular Dynamics Simulations Using The MolecularNodes Software Plug-in

A collaboration with MolSSI. MolecularNodes is a Blender plugin that offers advanced rendering for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Unlike other visualization software, it employs industry-standard rendering techniques commonly used in film and video games. However, MolecularNodes is not able to natively display solvent interactions, which are often crucial in elucidating protein structure-function relationships. To address this, this project integrated SolvationAnalysis, a plugin that provides data structures for examining solute-solvent interactions, to MolecularNodes, enabling users to easily specify and visualize solute and solvent structures. This expansion of MolecularNodes’ functionality is expected to appeal to researchers, students, and non-specialists because it allows users to produce professional-quality visualization of solvent interactions without needing sophisticated programming expertise.

Universities are required to produce graduates with good technical knowledge and ‘employability skills’ such as communication, team work, problem-solving, initiative and enterprise, planning, organizing and self-management. The capstone software development course described in this paper addresses this need. The course design contains three significant innovations: running the course for two cohorts of students in combination; requiring students to be team members in 3rd year and team leaders in their 4th (final) year; and providing assessment and incentives for individuals to pursue quality work in a group-work environment. The course design enables the creation of a simulated industrial context, the benefits of which go well beyond the usual, well-documented benefits of group project work. In order to deliver a successful outcome, students must combine academic theory and practical knowledge whilst overcoming the day-to-day challenges that face project teams. Course design enables the blending of university-based project work and work-integrated learning in an innovative context to better prepare students for participating in, and leading, multi-disciplinary teams on graduation. Outcomes have been compellingly positive for all stakeholders – students, faculty and industry partners.

Agile development, which has been accepted by many organizations in the area of management and software engineering in the last two decades, nowadays, tends to become an emerging teaching and learning methodology in higher education. A great number of educational institutions are offering courses in programming and software engineering using agile methods, setting aside the traditional teaching. This paper attempts to point out the impact of agile methodology in skills’ development on university students. Its aim is to explain Scum’s application in university students of a computer science program in a capstone project. It tries to identify the role of agile methods in improving students’ transversal skills such as communication, collaboration, team cohesion, team self-organization and autonomy, problem-solving, creativity, and generally project planning skills as well as the need for training in agile methods. The research is based on a survey concerning a capstone project implemented by students of Hellenic Open University (HOU). Results indicate that implementation of agile methods can benefit project team members and help them develop both their transversal skills and team working characteristics.

This project can be appropriate for you if you are new to software development and are looking for simple project themes.

Weather forecasting systems create precise predictions about the weather at a certain location and time by combining science and technology. Applications and systems for weather forecasting make predictions about the weather based on a variety of factors, including wind speed, humidity, temperature, pressure, and so forth.

• This online application is part of the weather forecasting project.
• Users can access it using a graphical user interface by entering their password and user ID. Unlike traditional weather forecasting systems that simply require the location, this application allows you to enter the weather.
• In this application, on the other hand, users will manually enter the location’s current parameters, and the system will use past data contained in the database to anticipate the location’s weather.
• The administrator enters historical weather data into the database on a regular basis. Since historical data is the system’s primary source of information, the predictions will be far more precise and trustworthy.

Objectives of the project:

• Accurate data
• Prevents mishaps by predicting the weather accurately.
• Supports the economy as it helps users plan their business activities.
• Healthy safety
• User-friendly
• Compatible with various operating systems such as Android, iOs, etc.
• Cost-effective

Final Project for the "Full Stack Cloud Development Capstone Project" course from the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate

jamesbregenzer/ibm-certificate-full-stack-cloud-development-capstone-project

Folders and files, repository files navigation, full stack cloud development capstone project, a cloud-hosted web-based application for a car dealership's car reviewal platform.

This repo contains the code for a Django web application hosted in the IBM Cloud.

This Django application was developed as part of the final Capstone Project in the 10-course IBM Full Stack Cloud Developer Professional Certificate on Coursera. This course provides a rudimentary version of the Django application, without any central functionality or templates. The general architecture and idea for the application was provided by Coursera, as well as most of the design and layout. Since the project was peer-reviewed after strict requirements, I didn't spend much time on further improving the front end design or UX, so the site is pretty ugly. I have mainly focused on implementing the functionality and back-end services specified by the course instructors.

Project Requirements

The general idea is to build a website that allows users to select one of Best Car 's dealerhips (a fictional company) in the US to view other users' reviews of the dealership's cars, as well as submit their own reviews. The site also needed basic functionality such as a navigation bar and static "about" and "contact" pages. The website had to be built with the Python-Django full stack web development framework and be deployed with Red Hat Openshift/Kubernetes on the IBM Cloud.

Architecture

The dealership and review data is located in an IBM Cloudant database, while data about users and cars is in a simple SQLite database. In order to access data from IBM Cloudant, this application relies on three IBM Cloud Functions which are accessible through an IBM Watson API service.

Each review is analysed by IBM Watson in order to display the review's general sentiment (positive, negative or neutral).

Clone the project:

• cd Full\ Stack\ Cloud\ Dev\ Capstone\ Project/server Install the required Python packages
• python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a new Django Secret Key

Run the development server:

• python manage.py createmigrations
• python manage.py migrate
• python manage.py runserver

Create a new superuser:

• python manage.py createsuperuser
• Log in via the admin site (just add /admin at the end of the url)

Push to IBM Cloud Foundry:

• Install the IBM Cloud CLI and the cloud foundry plugin
• Configure the manifest.yml file
• ìbmcloud cf push

SCI Pilots AI-Enhanced Capstone to Advance Software Engineering Instruction

Friday, May 10, 2024

Emily Smith

College of computing school of computing instruction.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and redefining problem-solving methods, especially within the rapidly evolving tech sector. 

A recent Forbes article highlights a significant shift in recruitment strategies, noting an increasing demand for professionals who can effectively leverage AI alongside their technical skills. 

"The demand for skilled professionals who can adeptly use AI has never been higher," the article states, emphasizing the need for complex problem-solving abilities and technical proficiency.

The School of Computing Instruction (SCI) at Georgia Tech is responding to these industry shifts by launching a transformative initiative this summer. The redesigned Computer Science (CS) capstone course bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world software development demands. 

"Students still need a foundational understanding of computer science because these tools aren’t perfect, but we want to equip them with the ability to use them," SCI Chair Olufisayo Omojokun said. 

"With this redesign, we're positioning the capstone as a platform for testing and refining the application of generative AI technologies in real-world scenarios."

Course Overview

Led by SCI Lecturer Nimisha Roy, the course is designed to simulate the tight deadlines of the industry, offering students practical experience of project constraints. This summer, students will choose from various projects centered around developing Google Chrome apps, with each project designed to challenge and enhance their skills in software design, implementation, testing, and project management.

"The course starts by grounding students in traditional software development methods to establish a solid base," Roy said. "Students first create system design artifacts using conventional approaches. They then enhance these designs using AI-driven tools like Lucidchart and Mermaid, allowing for a direct comparison between traditional and AI-enhanced processes.”

She says this approach not only highlights the transformative impact of AI on design productivity and quality but also emphasizes the crucial role of documentation in software development.

AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Codeium, and Testim are introduced to streamline coding and testing processes for the implementation phase. 

"We anticipate that the integration of AI from the beginning of the implementation phase will significantly boost productivity and enable the development of more complex features compared to traditional methods," Roy said. 

Students will rigorously test this hypothesis by comparing the quality of design documentation and final software products against those from previous semesters.

Objectives and Impact

Reflecting on the course's goals, Roy said, "This isn't just about enhancing technical skills. It's about preparing students to critically assess the role of AI in software development, considering its impact on productivity, output quality, user engagement, and the learning curve associated with adaptability."

She adds that this initiative underscores Georgia Tech's dedication to pioneering advancements in CS education that bridge the gap between academic learning and industry demands, setting a new standard for educational practices.

Future Directions

As the course unfolds, there is a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation regarding its potential future impact. Beyond the immediate objectives, future iterations of the capstone course may explore further advancements in AI technologies and their implications for software development practices.

“Using these tools could potentially lead to a scenario where future capstone projects involve students accomplishing more or higher-quality projects,” said Omojokun.

SCI’s initiative marks a significant shift in how future software developers are trained and sets a new standard in educational practices, aligning closely with industry advancements and future needs.

Spring 2024 Capstone: A Rewarding Experience

For two decades, the Ying Wu College of Computing Capstone Program has been an instrumental part of NJIT’s academic experience. The program places students in real-world assignments with leading companies, government organizations and community stakeholders to produce creative, multidisciplinary-driven solutions.

A capstone project is a graduation requirement for all seniors with options to work on sponsor company or organization assigned proposals, choose the CISCO entrepreneurship track (using CISCO based platforms) for solving problems in network and information security, or create their own entrepreneurial business solutions. Teams must satisfy a series of milestones to include a project evaluation by six panels of judges comprised of NJIT alumni and industry professionals during a final public showcase. Michael Geraghty, head of cybersecurity for the state of New Jersey, and a longtime NJIT collaborator, once again headed this year’s panel.

Osama Eljabiri, senior university lecturer and director of the Capstone program said, “We are proud to have presented these teams demonstrating some of the most bleeding edge solutions in today’s industry. Our teams have unparalleled real-world experience though their work with valued industry partners, including big names such as Bank of America, UPS, New Jersey Judiciary Court System, and Prudential Financial. Several teams will usually choose to start their own potential businesses as entrepreneurs, and others enjoy the challenge of solving real-world problems in network and information security through the CISCO entrepreneurship track.”

Capstone, also known as senior design, is the culminating academic experience for Liberty University School of Engineering (LUSE) students and a significant résumé-enriching achievement as they prepare to transition to professional careers.

“Each student works on a team of four to six to design a new product or process or make significant design improvement on existing systems,” said Dr. Howie Fang, a professor and chair of the mechanical engineering department and director of LUSE’s capstone program. “It’s a creative activity, and students do that for their client, who works with the student team over the period of two semesters.”

That creativity and collaboration was on display during Thursday’s Engineering Capstone Expo in the Montview Alumni Ballroom. For this academic year, LUSE offered 22 capstone projects to 97 engineering students with 18 projects from industry partners. Area businesses included Automated Conveyer Systems Inc., Centra, Delta Star, Framatome, Harco Fittings, Lawrence Companies, and Master Engineers & Designers. Students also worked with multi-industry companies such as Textron, and government agencies like NAVAIR, who have provided funding for and benefited from students’ innovative capstone projects. (See the full list of industry sponsors below.)

“It is very important for our students to learn real-world engineering problems and how to find solutions to those problems before they go out and get into industry as engineers,” Fang said. “Then, they are prepared and comfortable applying what they have learned in the classroom to real-life engineering challenges in their new jobs.”

Capstone teams involved students from all five engineering programs: mechanical, electrical, computer, industrial & systems, and civil engineering.

“Dr. Howie Fang is a world-leader in design optimization methodologies and has taught that in the context of the Creationeering process to the senior students while integrating it with real-world engineering problems,” School of Engineering Dean Mark Horstemeyer said, with Creationeering referring to his coined term for the interface between business and engineering and the creative inspiration from God in students’ research and design. “I am so proud to have Howie Fang in the LUSE as his leadership has raised the standard for the school.”

Such was the case for Tanner Randall, who will start this month at Framatome in its thermal hydraulics and component testing center after leading a team of six mechanical engineering students who worked under the supervision of Framatome mechanical engineer and software developer Greg Troyer to analyze the natural frequencies of nuclear reactor vessel internals (RVI), which facilitate fission in extreme environments. Christopher Pace, an electrical engineering student who worked on another Framatome-sponsored project, has also been hired by the company, which has its North American headquarters in Lynchburg, Va.

Katherine Rioux and fellow mechanical engineering students Fady Fayek, Caleb Schaible, and Logan Drawbaugh worked with Dr. Andy McIntosh from Leeds University in England to develop a Biomimic Novel Spray System, using the bombardier beetle as its model for extinguishing fires. She has landed a job working on E2D Hawkeye Airborne Command and Control Aircraft at NAVAIR in Patuxent, Md.

“It’s been a steep learning curve, but the cool thing about being tossed into the deep end is you either sink or swim, and I didn’t want to sink, so I learned,” said Rioux, who had internships with NAVAIR over the past two summers.

At last spring’s Expo, Josh Ingram and his team won the Capstone Legacy Award for their best product design for NAVAIR, a small tool that can be used to repair the engine of the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. Ingram was hired by BWXT last May while Zach Deluth, another member of this team, was hired by NAVAIR.

“The team worked with NAVAIR really well, and the product the students delivered to them is ready to be made for them to use to maintain these aircraft, so they were really happy,” Fang said.

Due to the quality of work produced by the engineering students on that capstone project, NAVAIR’s Cherry Point, N.C., location sponsored two capstone projects for Liberty’s engineering students this year.

Several of the seniors said the capstone projects stretched them more than any other class they had taken toward their degree, challenging them to put what they have learned in the classroom into practical application.

“It’s hands-on, working with a real customer, solving real problems, and it really made them think through, identifying what the problem is, coming up with solutions to that problem,” School of Engineering Lab Manager Marc Jantomaso said. “They built really good relationships with the clients.”

In recent years, as the School of Engineering has grown — both in number of students and faculty and in reputation in the Lynchburg, Va., area and around the nation and the world — more and more connections have been made between graduating seniors and area engineering companies.

“Through the capstone program, we have built up some very good relationships with industry that will tremendously benefit our engineering students, as well as the industry, providing the students with opportunities to refine their learning and open doors for employers to hire highly skilled graduates,” Fang said. “It’s a win-win situation. We can have more impact for students if we bring real-world applications, real-world projects from industry and let students work with industry people directly in these projects.”

This year, the projects received more than four times the total amount of funding as last year, allowing the seniors to develop more elaborate projects with greater functionality.

“They have more financial resources now, so they can do more,” Fang said. “When you go out to industry, your project can run anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars. That is the scale type of work from industry, and that is very beneficial to students if you can have a project with that complexity. So, from that perspective, we try to attract as many industry projects as possible.”

With genius inspired by God, and plenty of direction from faculty advisors and the clients they are doing their capstone projects for, the student teams “make miracles happen,” said Liberty President Dondi Costin, who attended the Expo.

“I was blown away at every single station, and I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “This is a true testament of your education … (and) exactly what Liberty University is all about. It’s taking young men and women who have natural talent and who have been raised with character and who are brought here by God, who have an individual ability and skill and passion and motivation and coming together as a team and using that skill in concert with the skills of others who are just as intelligent and passionate and gifted.”
