Student teams find Senior Design Projects challenging, hard and incredibly rewarding

Each semester, in Senior Design Projects, UWM engineering and computer science seniors work in teams to apply the skills they have learned throughout their time at our college. Some Senior Design projects run for one semester, and others span two semesters.

In the Fall 2022 semester, in a program sponsored by GE Healthcare, students formed more than 25 Senior Design Student teams tasked with finding solutions to help industry and communities address such issues as inventory traceability, pain management, and redesigning a historic bathhouse and surrounding infrastructure. 

Teams were comprised of students studying Biomedical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering. One winning team was chosen by each of these departments as representing the Best Senior Design Project for the semester.

Winners were recognized at the Order of the Engineer ceremony on Dec. 17 and will receive custom North Face full-zip fleece jackets, compliments of GE Healthcare and the College of Engineering & Applied Science.

GE Healthcare sponsored this year’s program. Mentorship and sponsorship for individual teams came from: AAA Sales & Engineering, Ashland Capital, Engman-Taylor, Generac, HellermannTyton, Krones, Master Lock, Merchants Capital, the Milwaukee Bucks, and Vision Forward Association.
