In thesame department, the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program curriculum also requires aproject management capstone style course. This requirement is among several differences whichseparates the M.Eng. program, which focuses on preparation for industry, from a Master ofScience (M.S.) which typically reflect more academic and research focus. Recently, UIUCcombined the capstone program for undergraduates and the M.Eng. capstone program into ajointly offered course. The details of the merger can be found in an earlier article [11].There are several key benefits to combining the two programs intended to enhance theexperience for students and instructors.
