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
