Global feelings

As exchange students, we think the capstone project is well incorporate in our Erasmus program. Besides scientific courses (we are studying in chemical engineering section), the capstone courses complete our schedule and make it a little bit more diversify. The integration part was essential to make contact with the other members and work in group allow us to focus on what we have to do in the separated tasks in order to respond to Nestlé’s expectations. Weekly work meetings are planned in order meet up each other, to collect all the informations and to determine the project’s advance. Everyone’s role are usually clear because the communication is constant and everyone can roughly do what he want. That collaboration which plays on everyone’s assets let us to make us useful and make us happy.

Capstone showroom 17.4

The long-awaited capstone showroom happened and unfortunately we didn't win any of the categories but they were more favoriable to projects that had an actual product to show and sell. Although we didn't win we had a interesting and fun times showing what we had done for our project. We were happily suprised about the amount of interest people at the showroom gave our project and we would like to thank everyone that came to our stand and asked about our project. 

Week 17

Now that this capstone project is coming to a close we still have one major event left and that is Nestlé meeting that will happen tuesday 24.4. During the meeting we will give more detailed presentation about our research and findings to our stakeholders.

Progress of the project

The project has consisted of several different entities, such as renewable energy, waste management, prototype design and marketing. Our group was divided into small groups by topics. The groups have worked independently on their own topics, regardless of the timetable of other groups. Others have worked at school and others at the Nestlé factory.


The waste management group worked mainly at the factory. At the factory, the work consisted of a large amount of information reseach and access to files, which meant that working at the factory was necessary. Numerous calculations and cost estimates were made on the basis of information research and new solutions were devised.


We kept meetings with the whole project team at regular intermissions to keep everyone up to date on the progress of the whole project. In the near future, all the groups have worked at school for the final presentations. In addition, we've put the whole project together.
