In the required Senior Design courses, students apply what they’ve learned and demonstrate their knowledge within their major as they participate in a team-based project. This provides experiential learning including teamwork, communication, and project management.
With the exception of the Materials Science & Engineering Department, one winning team from each department was recognized at the Order of the Engineer ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024. Students in materials science & engineering will compete in the spring of 2025.
A shout-out of thanks to GE HealthCare, which sponsors the Senior Design competition, and to all the companies who submitted projects. Full descriptions are here.
