Tech. + X Capstone

Catalog description

This interdisciplinary, team-based capstone integrates students from science, technology, liberal arts, business, and creative disciplines in collaborative problem-solving with Engineering Technology majors. Guided by cross-discipline faculty mentors, teams conduct feasibility and market analyses, develop prototypes or demonstrations, and create polished pitch decks that communicate the value of their solutions. The course emphasizes blending technical expertise with creative, analytical, and human-centered perspectives to address real-world challenges. Projects culminate in a public showcase or pitch competition judged by faculty, alumni, and external partners. Offered as an on-demand section to enable broad participation from across Miami University. This course may count as an elective for Engineering Technology majors but does not substitute for ENT 497 or ENT 498 major-specific capstone requirements. Prerequisite(s): Senior standing or permission of instructor.
