A semester-long capstone project concludes coursework for seniors in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. During these projects, students work together in teams to study real world challenges and offer recommendations to those problems. The experience gives students the hands-on preparation they need to be successful after graduation.
Students in computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering complete capstones.
In computer science, the group The Cavemen created CAVE Escape, a VR escape room game for the Mizzou CAVE. Using the CAVE, players solve puzzles that increase in difficulty as they advance throughout the game to escape.
Another group, Rubik’s Noob, set out to create an application that could solve a scrambled Rukic’s Cube and provide a visual aid to allow the user to watch the cube being solved. In fact, users can input their real-life cube pattern into the program to see how to solve the puzzle. The program has three solving methods, layer by layer, CFOP and thistlethwaite. The final method is not learnable by humans but is just meant to get the user to a solved cube as fast as possible.
Electrical and computer engineering students create flyers to advertise their senior design projects. Students’ projects varied in subject. For example, one group designed a robotic arm control system for radioactive material manipulation while another depicted a blind spot monitoring and alerting system for cyclists.
Below are EECS capstone projects from the Fall 2022 semester. Take a few moments to learn how students in EECS develop solutions to engineering problems.
