After two years of showcasing projects virtually, more than a thousand Michigan Technological University Huskies will stretch their legs (and their audience’s imaginations) as they present their incredible projects live on campus.
The 22nd annual Design Expo runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday on the first floor of Michigan Tech’s Van Pelt and Opie Library. Join the campus community and Expo sponsors to explore what students in the Enterprise and Senior Design programs have been working on throughout the year and watch them compete for honors and more than $3,000 in cash awards. The showcase, followed by a social hour and awards ceremony at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts, is free and open to the public.
In addition to the work MTU’s College of Engineering students will proudly display, this year’s event has been expanded to highlight Senior Design and capstone projects across several Michigan Tech degree programs. Look for entries from the College of Business, College of Computing, College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, and College of Sciences and Arts.
Special guests include 187 students from Houghton and Calumet middle schools participating in Michigan Tech’s GEAR UP program. GEAR UP — Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs — is a federally funded program providing college-positive programming for middle and high school students. And SOAR, the Dollar Bay High School’s Student Organization of Aquatic Robotics Enterprise team, will also be there to showcase underwater remotely operated vehicles.
