2009 Freshman Design Competition

July 24, 2009  Drexel Engineering is proud to announce the winners from the 2009 Freshman Design Project competition. Teams took part in a major team project with three to four other members over a period of approximately 13 weeks. Throughout the process, teams first select a topic and obtain a faculty sponsor. Then they develop a proposal which contains an analysis of the current status, including a review of the literature, the proposed plan of action, tradeoffs and justifications, division of team effort, a timetable for completion, and cost estimates. Next, the teams begin the project and write progress reports to their faculty sponsor. The project is completed and a final comprehensive written report is prepared. The experience culminates in a formal oral presentation during the annual freshman design seminar. Congratulations to all participants!
