8 | Capstone Projects Preview 2022-2023 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | This is a preliminary list of project titles. Due to the experiential nature of the capstone program, project proposals -- that will be available for your review in early August -- will look different than this list. | Fung Institute End of Year Showcase 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Students from BioE, CEE, EECS, IEOR (except FinTech) ME, MSE, NE will apply for capstone projects during the Capstone Info Fair & Marketplace in August. Students' capstone placement needs to be approved by their concentration advisors and/or department. In the past, about 40% of teams formed in the Capstone Marketplace were interdisciplinary. If you have questions, please reach out to Dr. Jennifer Mangold <jmangold@berkeley.edu> or Claire Trias <ctrias@berkeley.edu>. | Class of 2021 Capstone Showcase Link | ||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Students from IEOR-FinTech are matched with their projects / advisors through a different process not through the marketplace. Please consult Prof. Xin Guo <xinguo@berkeley.edu> for additional details regarding FinTech projects. | Class 2020 Capstone Showcase Link | ||||||||||||||||||||||
