Student Capstone Projects

Seniors in chemical, biological, and environmental engineering at Oregon State University can culminate their experience with a senior project. Tabulated below are this year's projects with links to the teams' most recent presentation along with projects from previous years. Projects are formulated in the fall, assigned in late January, and begin in mid-February. They culminate in the OSU Engineering Expo and final presentations in mid-June. This program is administered by the Linus Pauling Engineer.
