The UTDesign Capstone program joins senior engineering and computer science students with companies looking to undertake and complete various innovative projects over a several-month program. Previous program sponsors include Cisco, Texas Instruments, Raytheon Technologies, and many more. To date, 3,811 students have completed UTD Capstone projects through 786 sponsored projects. Projects created with various companies throughout this program have won nine national first-place awards since 2014.
“We are excited to team up with Skyllful to provide a group of our students with the opportunity to work with a local technology company like Skyllful that’s at the forefront of innovation,” said Rod Wetterskog, assistant dean, Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at UTD. “Throughout the history of our UTDesign Capstone program, we have seen great success with our students who have developed several award-winning projects with various companies in a variety of industries.
