Add to Calendar

Join the Albert Nerken School of Engineering seniors as they present work from their year-long Senior Design and engage in conversation about design solutions that address societal needs and grand challenges. Faculty, students, staff, alumni, and invited guests provide feedback, and a reception follows. This year’s projects include blind spot detection for cyclists, an assistive device for dialysis cannulation, underwater sound localization and more.

Senior Design allows students to work in teams on a major capstone design project that builds on knowledge and skills acquired within their disciplines. Students have the option to enhance this experience by working with students from other majors as part of a multidisciplinary team.

The event is open to alumni and prospective students. Space is limited and pre-registration is required for external guests. Register at this link by 12/5: Interdisciplinary Senior Capstone Poster Session External Guest RSVP Fall 2025 – Fill out form.
