The capstone project should relate to the chosen senior emphasis. Students may choose a path that includes integrated design and research (BIOEN 401 & 402), or a path that includes a small-group design project (BIOEN 404 & 405) plus additional engineering elective credit as needed. If the group/team design project path is chosen, extracurricular research is encouraged but not required.
