Each year, graduating engineering students work in teams to develop a product that's ready for the marketplace. These senior capstone projects are the highlight of Innovation Day.
332 students
108 projects
Seven disciplines
Innovation Day is when College of Engineering seniors showcase innovations, plans and developments that solve real-world problems and/or better our lives. These projects, often done in conjunction with industry partners, are the culmination of work done in senior Capstone courses, which span two semesters and are required for graduation.
Explore student projects in seven disciplines: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
New this year is the Capstone Design Project Competition sponsored by the Nevada National Security Site. A multidisciplinary panel of engineers and community leaders will assess projects submitted for the competition on their collective impact to the field of engineering as a whole.
Thank you to our Capstone instructors, industry advisors and donors, and College of Engineering faculty, all of whom guided our students as they worked toward their goals. Your support is crucial.
Every day, we work to prepare the engineers of the future, who will have a profound impact on our communities, the nation and the world. The projects you see during Innovation Day demonstrate the creativity, intellectual rigor and teamwork needed to address the challenges and needs of the years ahead. We are very proud to present the work of this year’s senior engineering class. Please enjoy Innovation Day.
Gifts to support senior capstone projects have helped students realize their concepts, including philanthropic support from:
Nevada National Security Sites
Sierra Nevada Corporation
Southwest Gas Corporation Foundation
Additionally, many companies, organizations, and individuals have provided guidance for the senior capstone projects. These external advisors are crucial to the success of the students.
