More than 40 senior design teams are preparing to give their project presentations between May 6-15. Projects commissioned for many of the teams came from local businesses big and small, including UMedec, Stantec, Deltahawk, MetalTek, Hellermann Tyton and Zoppas Industries.
New collaborative Senior Design Studio for all majors
This was the first year that students from all disciplines in the college had the opportunity to spread out and work collaboratively in the new Senior Design Studio, EMS 371, a dedicated space for senior capstone projects.
The impact and vision are attributed to biomedical and mechanical engineering senior design instructor Mohamed Yahaioui with the intent of benefitting all the college’s majors. Avie Judes, college lab manager, coordinated the renovation. Creation of the studio was entirely funded with philanthropic support, including from the Alan D. Kulwicki Legacy Fund and the fund of Paul McNally, Senior Lecturer Emeritus, computer science. Additional support came from donors to the CEAS General Fund.
Together with the CEAS MakerSpace, the Senior Design Studio will significantly enhance CEAS students’ educational experience by fostering hands-on, experiential learning, better preparing them for the real-world challenges of engineering and computer science practice after graduation.
As the winning teams are announced, they will be posted on the Senior Design website and announced at the Order of the Engineer celebration on May 16.
A hearty thanks to GE HealthCare for serving as the overall sponsor for these capstone projects.
