Spring 2024 Senior Design
Senior Design provides PNW engineering students with supervised experience in the process and practice of engineering design.
Students working in teams pursue an idea from conception to realistic design. The course concludes with the presentation of a substantial written report and a formal oral presentation.
Take a look at the teams and projects for the Spring 2024 semester:
- ASME IAM3D® Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D Challenge
