Join us in celebrating the end of the semester with a final display of student projects created by our own Engineering Technology and Engineering students. This year we have a broad mix of projects that encompass the humanitarian efforts of Global Resolve, defense related applications including autonomous aircraft and an autonomous helicopter landing pad, a medical application highlighting an automated robotic therapy systems for MS patients, green applications including alternative propulsion systems for the Grand Canyon Outfitters Association, and many more.

Many of these projects are sponsored by corporations or individuals interested in working closely with our graduate and undergraduate engineering technology students to develop solutions to complex problems facing the world today. The complexity of these projects offered students the opportunity to form multi-disciplined teams through department collaborations between the Department of Engineering Technology and the Department of Engineering. This year ATIC joined the collaboration, assisting students in developing project administration expertise for two of the sponsored projects.

Stop by to see what the engineering technology students of the Polytechnic campus can do when faced with a serious problem that requires an innovative solution.

Refreshments will be provided.
