Top projects by engineering, computer science seniors on display at design showcase

Wright State engineering and computer science students will put their best work on display during a new showcase event.

The College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) Senior Design Showcase will be held Friday, May 1, 2-4 p.m. in the Student Union Endeavour Room. The showcase is free and open to the public.

The college’s annual Student Awards Ceremony will follow at 4:30 p.m. in the Student Union Apollo Room. The college will recognize its top students, design teams, clubs and student-voted teaching winners.

The Senior Design Showcase will feature the top projects created by CECS students during Senior Design, a two-semester capstone course. Students will have their projects on display and will be available to discuss their work and academic experience with visitors.

Projects have been selected representing the college’s four departments: Biomedical, Industrial and Human Factors Engineering, Computer Science and Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical and Materials Engineering.

The senior design projects allow CECS students to explore innovative concepts, design and research. Many students collaborate with local and regional companies on their projects, providing them opportunities to work on real-world problems and provide solutions.

“The students will show what they’ve learned at Wright State, how they’ve applied it and what great things they’ve developed throughout their education,” said Sheryl Kent, director of the college’s Brandeberry Career Development Center.
