Senior Design courses provide experiential learning for students that includes teamwork, communication, and project management. Teams from all departments competed in a friendly contest by department.
The number of teams this semester ranged from one, in biomedical engineering, to a whopping 13 from computer science. Winning teams – one from each department – were recognized at the Order of the Engineer ceremony on Saturday, May 16.
The college thanks GE HealthCare, which sponsors the Senior Design competition, and to all the companies who submitted projects. Dive into all the teams.
Winning teams and their challenges were:
Biomedical Engineering (only one team)
“Air Bubble Detection System.”
Objective: Design a cost-effective system to detect, trap, and prevent air bubbles in IV fluid lines. The device must automatically detect bubbles, alert users, stop fluid flow, and safely isolate bubbles to improve patient safety, supported by prototype development and system validation.

Computer Science
“Flashcard Roguelike.”
Objective: To combine learning and gaming to create a more engaging, effective method for students and learners to study. Traditional flashcard tools and websites are often repetitive and lack interaction. This project aims to solve that by integrating flashcards into gameplay interactions, encouraging players to retain studied information while having fun.

Materials Science & Engineering
“Milwaukee Molten (Horseman’s Axe).”
Objective: To design and cast a horseman’s axe for the Cast in Steel 2026 national competition. Used our background to design the axe, choose the material, choose the heat treatment, and choose what testing is performed on the axe and metal. The team earned the Award for Best Investment Casting at AFS Metalcasting Congress 2026.
