Welcome to the College of Engineering Senior Design Course. Remember the goals of the program - students profit from:

• practical real-world experience,
• the opportunity to learn design philosophies,
• the development of team problem-solving skills,
• experience budgeting time and finances,
• the performance of project management skills,
• the chance to meet and work with potential employers.

Welcome! You have heard about the benefits of working with industrial projects. Remember, 70% of people looking for employment find their jobs through networking - talking with people, not through applications or online. The Industrial Senior Design path will allow you to meet 30 to 60 potential employers during our activities. You cannot get this exposure working on a department-based project!
