Mentor a Senior Project

Our senior capstone pairs student teams with real problems. As a mentor, you bring a challenge from your organization — or help shape one — and guide the team through the year-long project. Faculty provide academic oversight; you provide industry perspective.

What's involved

  • ~1 hour per week of mentor time (bi-weekly check-ins + async feedback)
  • Teams of 2–4 students, year-long project (Sept–Apr)
  • You help define requirements and provide feedback on deliverables
  • Faculty handle grading, academic scaffolding, and technical coaching
  • Ideal opportunity to recruit — you'll know these students well before they graduate

Project ideas we've seen work well

Internal tools, data dashboards, mobile apps, automation scripts, web platforms, simulation tools — anything with a concrete deliverable that your organization would actually use or build on.

Projects kick off in September. Reach out anytime to explore what's possible.
