Engineering Design Expo
Engineering students are putting finishing touches on their projects and prototypes ahead of the 2021 Virtual Design EXPO on May 4. One team took advantage of some open time at the Athletic & Wellness Center to test their folding electric bike design.
The EXPO is the capstone event for undergraduate engineering students, challenging them to apply what they've learned toward an original innovation. This year's event will be presented virtually with video presentations for each project. Details to follow soon!
