Description
Every year in the Department of Mechanical Engineering there is a flurry of activity as students enrolled in the Senior Project course finalize and present their designs for new technologies and improvements on existing ones. This course gives the students design, fabrication, project management, communication and teamwork experience of a kind they will experience – and require – for success in the workplace after graduation.
In addition to the experience students gain working through the design and manufacturing stages, they also develop their skills at making oral technical presentations and documenting their designs with written reports. Learning how to work as part of a team and to undergo and benefit from peer reviews are also essential course outcomes.
