Senior Design

Theoretical expertise meets hands-on learning as seniors prepare for real-world engineering.

A requirement for graduation, student teams take on year-long capstone projects, putting their problem-solving skills to the test and collaborating to take an idea from concept to design to prototype. On the second Thursday in May, teams present their work to an audience of industry experts, faculty advisors, students, family, and friends of the School of Engineering at the annual Senior Design Conference—a highlight of our academic year. All are welcome to watch the student presentations!

But how do students choose their projects? While faculty advisors have a list of projects students may choose from, some come up with their own ideas. Check out our archives page to see Senior Design Conferences from the past.

This year's Senior Design will take place on Thursday, May 9.
