Human-Computer Interaction Institute
Work with the Human-Computer Interaction Institute
Our interdisciplinary, collaborative mission makes us the ideal partner for researchers and industry professionals seeking creative, impactful, and innovative solutions. We proudly cross intellectual boundaries on behalf of the users as we design, develop and study technology in all aspects of everyday life.
Collaborate with Us on a Spring 2019 Capstone Project
Capstone Projects begin in January 2019
The culmination of our HCII students' course work, small teams of students and faculty develop solutions to real business challenges provided by their industry client partner.
We offer one-semester projects with our undergraduate students as well as two-semester projects with our masters students. The more in-depth MHCI Capstone project is the premier way to engage with our professional MHCI students and requires a gift to the University.
As a practice-focused program, we value our collaborations with all types of organizations and welcome new ways to connect our students with industry. From startups and nonprofits to global tech giants and governments, HCII capstone project sponsors enjoy the benefits of fresh perspectives on complex business problems and early access to recruiting our in-demand group of students. Year after year, students tell us that this professional capstone experience is the reason they chose Carnegie Mellon.
