Senior Design Showcase
See what happens when undergraduate engineering students take an idea, work through the challenges, and build something real. The Senior Design Showcase brings student teams together to share their projects with faculty, industry partners, alumni, and the community.
Where classroom learning becomes engineering practice
Senior design is a culminating undergraduate experience in which students work in teams to define a challenge, develop a solution, and test their ideas. They draw on what they've learned in class while working through the technical decisions, constraints, and revisions that come with engineering a project.
At the showcase, students present their work, explain their choices, and demonstrate what they have built. It is a chance to celebrate their work and connect with the people who may help shape their next steps.
From challenge to showcase
Projects take shape through design, hands-on testing, and the work of communicating a solution.
Understand the problem
Teams identify a need, establish goals, and consider the requirements that will guide their design.
Build and improve
Students model, prototype, troubleshoot, and refine their approach as they evaluate what works.
Share the results
Project teams explain their work and demonstrate outcomes to fellow students, faculty, and invited guests.
A chance to show what you can build
Projects move beyond a written assignment. Students bring their ideas to life through physical prototypes, demonstrations, poster presentations, and conversations with people who work in engineering.
What you'll experience at the showcase
Explore student projects up close, hear the stories behind the designs, and connect with the people doing the work.
Project demonstrations
See prototypes and designs up close, and learn how teams approached testing and implementation.
Student presentations
Hear students explain their work, the obstacles they faced, and the engineering decisions they made along the way.
Conversations and connections
Meet students and engage with faculty, alumni, industry representatives, and fellow attendees interested in engineering education.
Help make the next project possible
Partners and supporters can play a role in hands-on engineering education by sponsoring senior design projects, mentoring students, or participating in project presentations. Start a conversation about how your organization can get involved.
