This paper describes a two semester, multi-disciplinary senior capstone project for students from three Engineering and Technology Department programs (electrical engineering, electrical and computer engineering technology, and engineering technology) that brings together the tools of project management and the creative product development process into industry sponsored projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The projects are fully integrated with the Center for Rapid Product Realization with its dual goals of economic development and enhanced learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The stage/gate development process is used with six formal reviews covering the development of the proposal through to the fabrication and testing of the project’s output.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Over the past four years thirty five (35) projects have been undertaken with students getting an exciting authentic life experience and introducing them to the real world of engineering.</span></span></strong></p>
