Capstone Research
At MEBC, the Capstone Research Project is all about taking on and tackling real problems in energy and sustainability and trying to find real solutions. Students dive into issues like how to make renewable energy more practical or how businesses can cut their carbon footprint. Some projects focus on new technologies, while others look at policy changes or business strategies. Along the way, students get guidance from mentors, work closely with each other, and learn how to turn big ideas into something that actually make a difference. It’s a chance not just to build skills, but to work on something that matters.
