Three teams of Drexel Mechanical Engineering students took first place in their categories at Drexel Research Day on April 19, 2012. Held annually in the Daskalakis Athletic Center, Drexel Research Day offers both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to showcase year-long research projects within their area of interest.
Each research team presented an abstract and a poster of their research to a panel of judges who scored the teams on a variety of criteria. This year’s winning mechanical engineers were:
