This experience immerses learners in the principles and practices of Human Systems Engineering, focusing on user experience enhancement through psychology-based research. Participants will develop skills in identifying user needs, creating intuitive information architectures, and evaluating user interfaces. By applying these skills, learners can contribute to projects by conducting user research, performing usability tests, and integrating user feedback into product design, ultimately producing a prototype of a redesigned product.

MAE 589 Heat Transfer is a graduate mechanical engineering class taken by master's and PhD students, usually from mechanical engineering but also from aerospace engineering and other disciplines. These students have generally had an undergraduate course on the same material, so they come into the class already with basic skills in heat transfer. They are capable of conducting analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA) using Ansys or other packages, and designing thermal solutions as a part of product development or other engineering applications.

Master's students from the T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics gain knowledge and skills necessary to promote successful relationships and positive outcomes for individuals, families, and communities across the life-span. Graduates often pursue careers working with children, youth, and adults in human, social and government agencies. In this experience students will delve into their area(s) of interest, developing a greater depth and understanding of topics that influence children, youth, and families, and that further the student's academic and professional goals. Capstone 3 students need to complete at least 40 hours of hands on experience that relates to their interests and their field of study. These hours must be completed during a 6-7 week-long capstone course. Students can complete these projects as individuals or teams . We have Capstone every semester (spring, summer, and fall).

Students work on an extra project which focuses on a literature search, summary and short video presentation of an infographic on these findings.
