Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the capstone design course in the undergraduate ocean engineering curriculum at the US Naval Academy. The emphasis of this course is on integrating "real-world" design problems and design procedures into the academic curriculum, to benefit the students as well as public sector "clients" who volunteer their time to mentor students. Examples of projects are given in the paper, and several are highlighted to show how student design can lead, after additional professional design effort, to completed constructed projects
