About

What the Expo Is

The Capstone Senior Design Expo is the culmination of students’ undergraduate engineering experiences. Through year-long design projects, students apply technical knowledge, teamwork, project management, and communication skills to address complex engineering problems.

This multidisciplinary format reflects the evolving nature of engineering practice—where solutions increasingly emerge at the intersection of disciplines.
