The public is invited to the first-ever virtual engineering fair hosted by Northern Illinois University’s College of Engineering and Engineering Technology (CEET). On Friday, May 8 from 1-4 p.m., visitors to the site go.niu.edu/SeniorDesignDay can explore the innovative projects that NIU seniors have been working on this year.
Visitors can view the 87 teams’ abstracts and posters, and even join the teams in Microsoft Teams meeting chat rooms where they can engage with students in real-time, ask questions, and learn more about the projects.
Before graduating, engineering and engineering technology students form inter-disciplinary teams to take on real-world problems to create new products, improve existing products, or improve industrial processes.
“The senior design program is a high point in our students’ education. They apply the knowledge they acquired in the classroom to bring together concepts, theories, and construct a prototype or process,” said Dean Donald Peterson, is computer science engineering. “They also use problem-solving skills to work on open-ended, complex systems. Along the way, they are mentored by faculty and industry professionals. Senior design projects are often viewed as a student’s first professional achievement.”
