Our senior design students work in group of 2-4 to
solve a real engineering design problem. Some groups tackle
environmental projects while others do power & machinery or
bioprocessing projects. At the end of the Spring semester, the
students present their work for design review to the faculty of our
department.
Occasionally, undergraduates also give posters or presentations of original research
they have done with department faculty members.
Presentations from several years are linked below:

Our students entered two teams in the 2002 annual UT-wide Exposition of Undergraduate Research and
Creative Achievement. In a field of 16 posters, they won two of the four prizes, splitting prize money
of $200 per team. One of those posters is available online:
