For the first time, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is holding Design Day both fall and spring semester. Between projects and competitions, this week’s inaugural Fall Design Day will showcase hundreds of mechanical engineering students. Visitors will find several senior capstone projects, some graduate level projects, the mechatronics ‘The Great Escape,’ and two freshmen competitions ‘Battleship’ and ‘Up-Cycle.’

All are invited and welcome to come join us to see which project and which robot design comes out on top!
