The Senior Design Open House is a showcase for our engineering senior design projects. It is held every semester during finals week and is open to the public. Everyone is invited to attend to support the teams, learn more about engineering and its disciplines, or learn more about the program. Typically, teams from mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, engineering physics, software engineering, and sustainability and renewable energy systems will give formal presentations. In addition, civil and environmental engineering will join the other disciplines to display project posters.
