Engineering Design Day 2023 Success
2023 Engineering Design Day 67
On Monday, May 1st, Wyant College of Optical Sciences and College of Engineering teams showcased their interdisciplinary final projects in a packed Student Union Memorial Center Ballroom, as well as beneath a large tent on the Mall. Students, faculty, staff and judges met the teams and learned about the industry-sponsored senior capstones in the most highly anticipated event of the year for engineering and innovation.
Congratulations to everyone who participated for their hard work and perseverance, and a special congratulations to those who received a prize (full list of awards and winners from the Wyant College below, Wyant College students appear in bold).
