Support innovation and help shape the next generation of tech leaders by sponsoring a capstone project!
What are CS and CSE capstone projects?
Capstone is a senior design course for Computer Science (focused on software development) and Computer Systems Engineering (focused on embedded systems development) undergraduate students. This course serves as a showcase of their skills and educates them on the transition from the academic world to the professional world.
Students work in teams of 2-5 on an industry sponsored project for 2 semesters. This provides a real-world experience to undergraduate students, and develops their professional skills in a low-risk environment.
This department does charge a fee per team to participate in the capstone program, we also ask for your time and support of our students in their capstone learning experience. The charge is tax deductible and is only paid if your project is selected.
The fee will cover all basic Senior Design Project expenses, including limited materials and consumables. All of the fee will directly fund the project to cover the costs of Capstone Program resources to support the student activities. Projects requiring significant additional funds may require additional support. The budget may be discussed prior to the project proposal submission.
If you are part of an educational program within ASU, we are waiving the fees.
Referrals: If you refer a company and they submit a Capstone Project for the same period, you will receive a discount on the overall price.
Projects must meet requirements for Unpaid Internships under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Sponsorship Pricing

Tax deductible. Only paid if your project is selected.
(To hire 1 new employee at min wage for 10-12 hours a week for 16 weeks, would cost $15 × 10 hours × 16 = $2400, that's a savings of $2075+! As our teams range from min of 2 to a max of 5 students)
