Senior Design

Join us for the Senior Design Project Showcase on May 3, 2024, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

As part of our bachelor's degree program, students form teams to take on a senior design challenge. These team projects involve creating or improving commercial products or industrial processes. To complete the project, students use classroom knowledge to integrate concepts, apply theories, and construct a prototype or process.

Along the way, they are mentored by faculty and industry professionals. Finally, they present their projects at our Senior Design Day event. This hands-on, real-world experience is a high point of their education.

Clients and Sponsors

The senior design program is made possible by our clients and sponsors, who present our student teams with challenges faced by their organizations. Our students are learning the latest theories and technologies. They'll bring an innovative approach to the creation or improvement of your product, system or process.
