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.
