Students apply real-world skills in capstone projects presented at Senior Engineering Design Conference
Undergraduate students across Western Michigan University’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences are preparing for one of their biggest accomplishments yet: they are getting ready to graduate. As a part of this accomplishment, seniors develop capstone projects to be presented at the Senior Engineering Design Conference every fall and spring semester.
Students take on industry challenges for their capstone projects
Each fall and spring semester, graduating seniors display their skills, innovation and creativity at Western Michigan University’s Senior Engineering Design Conference. Join us for this semester’s capstone presentations on Tuesday, April 15, at Floyd Hall, home to WMU’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Continue reading to learn more about some of the amazing work engineering Broncos have been up to.
Student innovation on display at capstone event
Experience-driven learning was on display at the 75th Senior Engineering Design Conference when December 2024 graduating seniors showcased their innovative projects that put their knowledge and skills into practice in real-world settings.
Senior Design Memories
The Senior Design Conference at Western Michigan University’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences showcases the work of students from all disciplines. It is an opportunity for them to share fresh perspectives and develop new systems.
As students graduate into an industrial era of smart and sustainable systems, they must address the future needs of industry through a lens of innovative engineering. This Senior Design Conference is an important step in the development of the future of engineering—testing knowledge and skills in a real-world setting and completing projects for industry sponsors, the regional community, and our own campus.
This event would not be possible without the contributions of our faculty, staff, and industry sponsors. We hope you enjoy this event and will discover something new from our students.
