Harvey Mudd College
Computer Science Clinic
Welcome!
"Clinic" is the name that Harvey Mudd College uses for the unique capstone
experience in Computer Science and Engineering in which students
provide work products of genuine value to external clients based
on their needs. The name was chosen
because it provides a transition between learning within the academy
and practical experience in industry or a research laboratory.
Brochure describing the Computer Science Clinic Program (html)
Each Clinic project is conducted by a team of typically four students
over the span of one academic year. A faculty advisor works with the
team and a liaison from the sponsoring organization provides domain-specific
knowledge as necessary. The results of the project become
the property of the sponsor.

The concept of Clinic was invented at Harvey Mudd College in the
Engineering Department in the early 1960's. Since that time, over
1000 clinic projects have been conducted at the college. Computer
Science observed completion of 10 years of its clinic program in 2003.
