Capstone

In Baylor’s School of Engineering and Computer Science, our vision is to partner with companies to provide students opportunities to experience the full process of defining engineering problems, generating design concepts, developing solid models and demonstrating physical prototypes. The experience gained in our Senior Design program transforms our students into talented and equipped prospective employees.

Company Sponsorships

We partner with Fortune 500 companies, regional and local businesses, entrepreneurs and nonprofits. Our partners include:

Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, National Oilwell Varco (NOV), Brandt Companies, Olsson Engineering, Security Brands, Panther Life Sciences, Swan Products, Behlen Country, Sherwin Williams, Fallas Automation, Keystone Industries, World Hunger Relief, State parks, churches & schools

“Baylor Senior Design is a cost and quality competitive program that has a history of delivering talent and solutions for Lockheed Martin. Hardworking, eager, and humble students are paired with customer-focused engineering faculty and deliver results including conceptual design, prototype fabrication, and verification/validation of their design. Because of great student talent and attentive professors, the Baylor Senior Design program sets a high bar for LockheedMartin’s university partnerships.”

–Chris Colaw, Fellow, Lockheed Martin

PAST PROJECTS

Key Features

Interdisciplinary Teams

ECS engineering programs consist of 63% mechanical, 27% electrical and computer, and 9% general engineering students. We strive to maximize the number of interdisciplinary projects, but we also tackle discipline-specific projects.

High Instructor Interaction

Each team is purposefully constructed through a collaborative process. Teams also consult with subject matter experts among the faculty and staff as needed. The vast majority of our design course instructors are Clinical Professors and Adjunct Lecturers averaging over 20 years of experience in engineering practice.

Fabrication Support

Our industry-standard equipment allows students to gain experience they will take with them to their careers.

  • Staffed Machine Shop & Electronics Shop
  • 3D Print Lab: Multi-Jet Fusion (HP JetFusion 580), Stereolithography (Two Formlabs Form 3s), Fused-Filament (Stratasys F370, Ultimaker S5 and three 
    Ultimaker 3s, eight Prusa i3s) options
  • Materials: PLA, ABS, TPU, PETG, PA-12, multiple resin options
  • Precision Manufacturing Lab: two laser cutters, 150 W, 10.6 micron CO2 lasers, 24" x 40" work area
  • Student Fabrication Facilities: Eight access-controlled build spaces available for projects covered by non-disclosure agreements or IP protection agreements

Project Mix

55% Corporate Partners
20% Missional Projects
15% Research Apparatus Projects
10% Student Competition Teams

Missional Projects & Sponsorship 
Opportunities

Each semester, our program has opportunities for missional project work with your support. Your contributions enable our students to develop assistive and therapeutic solutions for clients who lack the means to support our work at the same levels as our corporate and institutional clients. To give, follow the link or reach out to the contacts here:
