DESIGNEXPO SWANSON SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING December 6, 2018 Welcome to the Swanson School’s ninth Design EXPO! We thank you for joining us this evening to celebrate our students’ talents and achievements. Tonight’s Design EXPO will feature 80 student projects that traverse the design space from problem identification, specification of objectives and constraints, conceptual development, to, in many cases, result in an actual prototype. In this way the EXPO provides an opportunity for students to display their creativity and ingenuity.

Many of our student projects come directly from the Swanson School’s Capstone Design Courses and were submitted by graduating seniors. The Capstone Design Courses enable students to address real-world problems either posed by industry or identified by the teams themselves.

Alongside these projects our EXPO will also highlight concepts and prototypes from students in our product realization courses.

We welcome everyone in attendance to text in a vote for their favorite project as a part of the EXPO’s “People’s Choice Award” while our judges from industry evaluate the projects to determine: • Best in the Department • Best Overall Design Judging will begin at 6 p.m. and end at 7:40 p.m. Winners will be announced starting at 8 p.m.

We hope that you enjoy learning more about these exciting projects and have opportunities to discuss details with our students. We are proud of all of the accomplishments of our students.

Enclosed you will find a list of the design projects, team members, and faculty advisors who have joined us this evening for this special event.

We would like to thank Dean Jimmy Martin, Associate Dean Mary Besterfield-Sacre, the Swanson School of Engineering faculty members, and our generous industry partners who have provided guidance to the student teams. Special thanks to the judges for their time and support of this exciting endeavor. We would also like to thank the family, friends and community members and partners who have gathered here to support our students.
