"I’m proud of the impressive progress that the students made. Their capstone projects clearly represent work that brings together knowledge acquired from across the program, demonstrating skills and depth of analysis that they did not have a year ago. That’s great, because that’s the goal of the program."
-Dr. Daniel Matisoff after the first-ever MSEEM student capstone presentations, July 28, 2020
