Senior Design: The Right of Passage

Every graduate of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology must complete the Senior Design Day. These projects offer students the opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom. 

Student teams integrate several engineering disciplines to solve real-world problems currently affecting the work place. You can sponsor a team project in the following ways:

  • Provide an engineering topic on which students will focus
  • Offer a current company problem for students to evaluate
  • Provide equipment or other resources that support the project
  • Fund a student project

Make a difference and support a project today by contacting Erin Engle at erin@niu.edu.
