This experience is designed for students in NU’s PhD Health Psychology specialization program to apply their acquired knowledge and skills in real-world settings. Participants will engage in an internship with a digital health information agency, allowing them to connect classroom concepts to practical applications. Learners will develop competencies in professional blog development, teamwork, and professional communication skills. 

Most NU students are working adults who bring years of work experience to the table. They have over 200 hours to work on one main project over the course of a three-month capstone course. With regular mentorship and guidance from you, they can produce quality work that can make a real impact on your business. Students in the BS in Manufacturing Design Engineering Technology program acquire the theoretical foundations, hands-on experience, and teaming skills required for effective conceptual, logistical, developmental, and interdisciplinary design of complex engineering devices, product life cycles, and engineering systems through integration of state-of-the-art computer-aided tools, concurrent engineering standards, and simulation modeling techniques.

This experience focuses on applying agile software development methodologies and project management concepts to real-world projects. Learners will collaborate to gather requirements, create UML use case diagrams, and manage project schedules using agile Scrum processes. By engaging in this experience, learners will enhance their ability to translate theoretical knowledge into practical solutions, effectively communicate with stakeholders, and adapt to changing project requirements.

Do you have a complicated business problem or question that doesn't have an easy answer? Work with Capstone students from our Master of Science in Engineering Management program to get solution designs that can help move your company forward. Our students come to the program with an engineering background and choose to specialize in systems engineering or project management. This is an opportunity for our students to showcase and apply their academic knowledge in the business environment. Client companies will be presented with teams’ recommendations that will align the organizational systems with their core mission. These recommendations will address; the needs for enhancements to the systemic operating processes, measurable improvements to efficiency and effectiveness of core business systems, elimination or minimization of potential projects failures (delays, quality, scope, budget), use of technology-based solution where and when applicable.
