Engineers are innovators and problem solvers so when students were asked to finish projects remotely and present them online due to the COVID-19 crisis, the response was “can do.”
“It’s take-off time. Boom!,” declared Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering Dean Chell Roberts in a video message welcoming participants to the Engineering and what to do with a computer science degree.
The virtual event featured more than 40 capstone design projects in poster form, including one that’s already won an award, from graduating seniors in computer science and electrical, industrial and systems, integrated, and mechanical engineering.
Projects included “Big Red,” a recumbent tadpole trike that was entered in the American Society of Mechanical Engineer’s (ASME) Human Powered Vehicle Challenge to further the development of transportation alternatives for developing parts of the world. While the team was disappointed that the live action competition was canceled, they kept working and finished third out of 16 teams, the school’s highest placement to date, in the virtual south regional competition.
