More than 800 people visited the 2016 Senior Design Expo held in April inside
and outside the Squires Student Center. Industry sponsors participated as judges as well as engineers from GM, UPS, Canon, Volvo Construction, BWXT, Graham White, and Ford.
For 2017, 52 teams will design projects and class enrollment jumps from
360 to 419 students. Industry sponsorship increased to 15 (up from 5 in 2015),
and faculty are embracing the support of Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) projects,
by advising eight humanitarian/philanthropic projects.
