== Tactic # 1: Create a pilot capstone design program incorporating college of engineering and college of business students ==
== Tactic # 2: Amalgamize all individual departmental capstone courses into one overarching, univesity-wide capstone course ==
Senior Design is currently run by each individual major. Multidisciplinary projects exist far and few between, which is a disservice to the students as well as the university. We wish to eradicate the current major-specific senior design program and make cross-major projects more commonplace, if not required. This gives a more in-depth experience of a real industry project.
== Tactic # 3: Get industry members to advise and sponsor the univeristy-wide capstone projects ==
We wish to see more industry-sponsored projects as capstone projects as well. We have had many successful projects sponsored by companies like Northrop Grumman, Harris Corporation, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and more. This interaction not only helps students feel the real experience of being an engineer in these companies, but they often are offered jobs as a result. Additionally, with the funding provided by the sponsor, these projects are of minimal cost to the university, enabling other unsponsored projects to receive more funding.
