Fly me to the Moon...or maybe Venus.

Engineering students showed off their work at a senior design showcase last Tuesday in Mcintosh Center. One such project: design of a solar-powered glider for Venus.

Students worked in teams throughout the year on projects ranging from wastewater pump stations, to gloves for cyclists, dairy farm efficiency, a robot that finds objects, and many more.

Alumni from industry came back to campus to judge the various projects on the engineering involved and how well the students could explain their innovations.
