Senior Design Competition 2010

Drexel Engineering hosted the Senior Design Group Competition June 2, 2010 in the Mitchell Auditorium.  The competition was sponsored by the Environmental Tectonics Corporation and Zodiac Aerospace. Eight groups of engineering design projects were selected as finalists to present their work during this last round with at least one group from each department. The students shared $5,000 in prize money for making it to the stage. Congratulations to all teams!  Photos from the competition are available on FlickR. Project descriptions are available in PDF format.
