Senior Design Capstone
The Senior Capstone Design experience aims to bridge the gap between classroom and industry by requiring students to use their knowledge and skills to complete an engineering design project equivalent to the assignments they will soon receive as aspiring professional engineers. Projects are completed in groups, making it necessary for students to develop the skills needed to succeed in diverse industry design teams. Employers value graduates with capstone design experience because these students have gained broad experience by applying their extensive knowledge base to solve complex engineering problems as a team. Seniors also make significant professional contacts through design projects with industry participants, guest lecturers and the annual Engineering Project Showcase.

School of Public Health Practicum
The purpose of the Texas A&M School of Public Health (SPH) practicum experience is to provide students with an opportunity to apply the concepts, strategies and tools acquired throughout the course of their classroom studies. Regardless of the exact nature of the practicum facility, activities, preceptor, or specific student goals, the overall objectives of the experience are to:
• Expand knowledge of basic public health and health services practices.
• Increase awareness of the complexity of the problems and concerns involved in the public health and health services arena.
• Facilitate a stronger understanding of the relationships among public health organizations, health service organizations, and other governmental entities.
• Afford the opportunity to provide valuable service(s) to the host site organization by taking part in and/or completing projects or other work assignments.
• Increase appreciation of cultural differences in populations served by public health and health services professionals.
• Offer an opportunity to apply training and concepts learned in coursework.
It is not our expectation or intention that every practicum experience will serve or do all the above objectives; however, it is expected that the practicum experience will include many, if not most of these goals.
