Miami Regionals Engineering Technology Seniors Present Research and Design Projects

Apr 09, 2018

Miami University Regionals' Engineering Technology students will present their senior design projects at a public event from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm on Friday, April 27 at the Harry T. Wilks Conference Center on the Hamilton campus.

Senior design teams will conduct major open-ended research and design projects over the course of two semesters. Elements of the design process include research, establishment of objectives, budgeting, synthesis, analysis, and evaluation. Real-world constraints such as economical and societal factors, marketability, ergonomics, safety, aesthetics, and ethics are also integral parts of the capstone.
