ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ

The ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University College of Engineering will host the 3rd annual Senior Design Symposium Thursday, April 26 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Live Oak Ballroom located in the Setzer Student Center, capping off the school year with more than 40 projects engineering students have spent months preparing. The event is free and open to the public.

“Senior Design Symposium is the culmination of an entire year filled with planning, designing and building to compete for the ultimate prize of having the top project,” says Srinivas Palanki, dean of the College of Engineering. “I’ve seen instances in industry where hiring candidates will use their senior design experience as part of their resume. This is a wonderful opportunity not only for our students, but for the public to come and experience why ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Engineering continues to excel.”

On display at the Senior Design Symposium will be 44 group projects from all five engineering disciplines at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University, including: 12 chemical engineering projects, 3 civil and environmental engineering projects, 9 electrical engineering, 8 industrial engineering, and 12 mechanical engineering projects ranging from concepts for ethylene production facilities for local refineries to designs and projects to be utilized by NASA for long-journey space missions.

Senior Design Symposium is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to browse projects, ask students questions and stay for the award ceremony.
