🎙️ The Projects Your Engineering Team Never Has Time For

Every engineering organization has them.

Ideas that are good—sometimes very good—but never quite make it onto the roadmap.

Not because they lack value.But because they lack time.

In this episode, we explore a largely overlooked pathway for turning those “someday” ideas into real, working hardware: university engineering capstone programs.
