Energy Engineering Minor Capstone Project
Name: Primary Major:
Expected Graduation Term:
Email:
All students in the Minor in Energy Engineering must complete a capstone design project. If a departmental capstone will be used to
satisfy the requirement, the student must gain approval from the Program Director before the capstone course begins, and they must
describe their project below.
1. Project Title
2. Overall Objectives (300-500 words)
Please describe the central questions and goals of your project.
3. Energy-Related Objectives (~100 words)
Your capstone project must have a substantial energy component to count toward the Minor.
