Engineering students present projects in Hamilton

Miami University Regionals’ Engineering Technology students will be presenting their senior design projects at a public event from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday at the Harry T. Wilks Conference Center on the Hamilton campus. Lunch, Alumni Welcome, and awards ceremonies will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Student teams conducted major open-ended research and design projects. Elements of the design process include the establishment of objectives, synthesis, analysis, and evaluation are integral parts of the capstone. Real-world constraints such as economical and societal factors, marketability, ergonomics, safety, aesthetics, and ethics are also integral parts of the capstone. ENT 497: feasibility studies performed; ENT 498: implementation, testing, and production of the design. The Fleck Grant supported different projects for this event.
