Join us for the School of Integrated Sciences Symposium on Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26, 2025, in King Hall and EnGEO Buildings. 

Now part of the CISE Student Showcase, the SIS Symposium is a culmination of capstone projects featuring the innovative work of students in the Geography, Intelligence Analysis (IA), and Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) programs. 

Intelligence Analysis | Friday, April 25 | 9:30 A.M. - 3:30 P.M.
ISAT and Geography | Saturday, April 26 | 9:00 A.M. - 2:10 P.M.

As part of the SIS experience, students complete a capstone project. Working individually or in teams, students work on a problem with a real-world component, often partnering with local industry or governmental sponsors. Ideas originate from the students, faculty advisors, or sponsors, fostering innovation.

The capstone project allows students to apply their acquired knowledge and skills to tackle authentic problems, gaining invaluable hands-on experience along the way.
