Our Capstone course divides students into teams. They must satisfy an outside client, as all projects are real and supplied by industry. They must have both written and oral presentations. All faculty of the department attend and there is a reception afterwards. Many alumni and students who have not yet taken the course also attend.
Many courses require literature searches and other technical writing.
Alumni are surveyed every two years. We stay in very close contact with our alumni and the O.R. community. We have an advisory board that evaluates and makes recommendations on a yearly basis.
