Each spring, the Tickle College of Engineering holds their Senior Design Showcase where we go beyond the classroom to bridge the gap between industry and education. At the showcase, you see first-hand how Engineering Vols are reimagining the future. Over 120 student teams from every engineering discipline show how they took real-world challenges from their clients and came up with creative, innovative, and practical solutions.
Senior design—also known as capstone design—is the final educational element that ties to together all the engineering, science, and humanities learnings as our students transition to the next phase of their lives. This event is an opportunity for our students, faculty, sponsors, and guests to come together to celebrate the completion of the open-ended projects our students have worked on during the past two semesters.
Having the students display their projects and present them publicly to guests sets a higher standard for their completed work while enhancing their interpersonal skills—helping to kick-start their engineering careers upon graduation. The showcase also gives our up-and-coming students an aspirational perspective for their senior year.
Most importantly, the showcase is a fun and memorable experience for all participants to enjoy.
