Senior Design Showcase

The Showcase

The Spring 2024 Senior Design Showcase will take place on May 10th, 2024 from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.

The Senior Design Showcase takes place every semester, and is an event where graduating seniors in Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Management, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering present the highlights of their senior design projects.

All students work collaboratively in small groups. Some student groups have worked collaboratively with individuals, private companies, or public agencies as clients, while other student groups have developed and designed their own innovative projects. Some groups will be giving project presentations, while some groups will be demonstrating products that they have designed and manufactured.
