In your senior year, you’ll join a team consisting of three other students, a faculty mentor, and a liaison from the company that partners with you to provide a solution to a problem they’re facing. Together, you’ll spend the year analyzing and designing solutions, creating a project schedule and budget, building and testing a prototype, preparing detailed engineering reports, and more. Then you’ll have the opportunity to present your accomplishments at a culminating event attended by industry representatives, faculty, fellow students, and family and friends.
Many of our seniors design innovative and patentable devices under the guidance of the sponsoring companies.
