The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s interactive online Sustainable Systems Engineering (SSE) Master’s Degree program is built on the strengths of UW-Madison as a leader in engineering, energy and environmental sciences. One of the components of this program is the SSE Capstone course, which serves as the culmination of students’ masterâs degree work.
The course is designed to integrate the knowledge and tools acquired in the program and bring them to bear upon a problem. Students select a problem, creatively develop a solution, and evaluate the feasibility of the solution. Program faculty are continually impressed with their studentsâ ability to apply what they learned in the classroom to a real problem.
The spring 2024 SSE Capstone students demonstrated their expertise with a variety of impactful projects. The three projects below are great examples of how our students are advancing sustainability through their project work.
These projects exemplify one of the core tenants of the UW â Madison interactive online engineering masterâs degrees: the focus on industry experience in classroom work and instruction. We are proud of the work that our students accomplished this semester.
