Capstone Design
The Facilities Engineering Capstone course is designed to replicate a real-life engineering problem solving and critical thinking situation as it prepares our engineering students to enter the workforce. The classroom environment is converted to resemble that of an MEP (Mechanical Electrical Plumbing) engineering design firm. The student teams select projects as sponsored by our outside sponsors. These sponsors are generally taken from a pool of interested alum that head up engineering firms, medical campuses and facilities engineering operations in and around the NY-NJ & Conn. area. These projects are actual projects that are under current review and evaluation by our sponsors for suitability at their specific locations.
Students work shoulder-to-shoulder with their project sponsors. They make on-site visits to these facilities; communicate on a regularly scheduled basis and supply official transmittal sheets, requests for information and other accepted industry standard methods. Teams rely on each other across all project teams to help develop solutions to these real-life problems. Students draw upon their academic career along with shipboard and intern experiences. Thermal systems, fluids mechanics, HVAC design and electrical load analysis are the foundation to many of the solutions. Students research and apply the local laws, building, mechanical and conservation codes and standards to support and codify their solutions. Their work culminates into a written report and oral presentation made to industry professionals. In many instances, the work is suitable enough that the project sponsors have implemented the student teams’ recommendations.
The Facilities Engineering Program enjoys a very active participation from outside industry professionals and interested alumni. At the end of the spring semester, these industry professionals are invited to campus to review the student teams’ work and scrutinize the outcomes. This participation has proved to be a serious challenge to the students to perform in front of a knowledgeable audience and has fostered an opportunity for the course content to remain relevant to the needs of the industry.
