In their senior year, all students at UWM\u2019s College of Engineering & Applied Science team up and partner with industry representatives to solve real-world problems. These problems aren\u2019t easy to solve, but UWM students have knocked it out of the park on more than one occasion. On all occasions, they\u2019ve had a taste of professional life and become better prepared for successful careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a sense of our senior design projects in this Spectrum News story about one student team that was tasked with solving a problem for Charter Steel: UW-Milwaukee engineering students turn $72 investment into $43,000 in savings for Milwaukee-area company<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or read about another team of students that created an inventory solution for AAA Sales and Engineering that was met with praise by experienced machinists and management: UWM engineering students create solution that save a company $840,000 a year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
