As a capstone class prior to graduation, students in IT 495 work with a faculty advisor and one of our corporate community partners to solve “real life” manufacturing problems using the problem solving skills and knowledge they have gained from their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the Senior Class Projects from IT-495 Spring 2019 under Professor Mollick. We appreciate the cooperation of our corporate community partners: Appleton Electric Inc., Fibergrate Composite Structures, L3 Communications, and St. Gobain Abrasives, and would like to thank them for allowing us to show what an ET student can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
