Mechanical Engineering - Engineering Mechanics Sample of Capstone Senior Design Projects as featured at the University-wide Undergraduate Research Expo 2009:
Industry support of Senior Design enables small teams of highly dedicated
students to explore and solve real industry challenges throughout their senior
year. Our program is more like a ‘first job’ than a ‘last class’, connecting students
and industry through open-ended, industrial projects. Our projects enable teams
to follow the complete design process from ideation to realization. Access to
extensive design, analysis, fabrication, and test facilities on campus allows a
broad range of projects to be completed.

Allen's Work with Two-Phase Flow Garners NSF CAREER Award by Kara Sokol Jeffrey Allen, assistant professor in mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics, has received a five-year, $400,000 National Science Foundation CAREER Award. His project will advance his investigations in capillary flow—how and why gases and liquids move (or fail to move) through tiny channels, such as those found in hydrogen fuel cells
