=== Innovation and Design Clinic - Capstone ===
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Capstone Design / Innovation Design Clinic (ME 170) is a course in which engineering students form teams and compete against each other as part of a competition.The Innovation Design Clinic, aka Capstone, is somewhat similar to the Engineering Service Learning program except the program is more structured--engineering students are placed into teams that are tasked with creating specific projects. Together they create a solution to a problem that has been designated to them by either industry or by the course. Teams are cross disciplinary in the sense that they have students from management and business backgrounds integrated into their respective team. </span><span id="docs-internal-guid-0b27bb3c-c41c-9801-b2d8-bf487bde0502" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">Twenty-three teams</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">then presented to the general public and investors at the annual Innovation to Grow event.</span>
