Senior Capstone Program in Engineering (SCOPE)
The Senior Capstone Program in Engineering (SCOPE) is a unique industry-college collaboration, and a place where students apply the skills that they’ve been building during their four years at Olin. Seniors are grouped together in teams to match the needs of a sponsor company’s real-world project. Our corporate partners find that these exceptionally bright engineering students look at problems in new ways and find unexpected solutions. Sponsors come from all different industries and their projects vary widely in topic, development stage and desired outcome. What these projects have in common is that they each address a problem of substantial interest to the sponsor, are significantly challenging and are in technical areas that match the skills and interests of students. They range from early-phase product conceptualization to building technology intended for near-term use on the manufacturing floor;
from wide-open consideration of design principles to implementing methods to make roadways safer for cyclists. Olin has conducted SCOPE projects for Fortune 500 corporations, government research laboratories, product development companies, small businesses and startups. Some of our current partners are: • Amazon Robotics • Ford • Arthur G. Russell • GE Healthcare • Boeing • Sonos • Boston Scientific • Toyota • Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI)
