senior design project industrial engineering

Students take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to a real industry problem in a Senior Design Project that caps off their engineering education. Many regional companies sponsor and guide students through the completion of their projects, which also allows them to leverage the opportunity into full-time jobs after graduation. Recent examples of Senior Design Projects are testing lithium ion batteries for performance under certain conditions, using eye tracking technology to diagnose sports concussions, and creating a new gold plating process.

Each Spring, graduating seniors present their ideas at the Emerging Engineers Expo. Read about our most recent projects.

Industrial Capstone Senior Design

Developing Solutions

The purpose of the Industry Sponsored Senior Design Project is to give students skills in carrying out a project in a multidisciplinary team for a designated client, just as practicing engineers. This project requires the integration of skills developed throughout their undergraduate studies to solve the problems defined in the project. The developed solution(s) in this major design experience must adhere to engineering standards as well as the problem’s constraints. The solution must consider all relevant economic, sustainable, ethical, social, environmental, health and safety, political, and legal issues, as they pertain to the problem. These factors should be addressed and documented as appropriate. Thus, students also acquire additional experience in delivering presentations and technical writing.

Capstone Format

Teams of 4 to 6 students composed of Computer, Electrical, Mechanical and/or Plastics will be formed and assigned to the project. Each student is expected to spend 10-12 hours per week on the project, which should include quantitative and qualitative aspects. All project groups meet with the instructor weekly throughout the semester for topics such as project management, process improvement, dealing with clients, and technical communications, as well as relevant technical topics. They will also meet weekly with their faculty coach for specific project topics. Finally, teams will also meet with their client organization (project liaison) on a regular basis, either in person or virtually.

Deliverables

Interested in Sponsoring a Team?

The Corporate Leadership Partner fee for participation is not considered a contract for deliverables, as these are undergraduate students pursuing an educational, not research, program. However, it is understood that student teams may be exposed to sensitive material and/or data. In these situations, agreements must be made before initiation of the project, which will allow for timely publication (after review, if required).

Senior capstone design projects in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

Course objectives:.

The goal of the capstone design course is for students to apply their full engineering and general engineering education to a new and important problem which is amenable to an engineering solution and present their results. The course will develop and refine students’ abilities in this context by planning and organizing a term project, evaluating design alternatives with supporting engineering analysis, applying appropriate engineering standards, assessing and optimizing designs from the customer perspective, and presenting final designs.

Course Topics :

Integrative Experience:

Engineering solutions are almost always created in response to some societal need. Understanding the need is central to success in engineering design and an engineer must understand the economic, social, political, sustainability and environmental contexts in which the need arises. Therefore, as engineering students embark on the problem identification phase of engineering design they have the opportunity to reflect and draw on the knowledge they have gained through their General Education courses and then integrate this with the engineering knowledge they have gained in their major. More specifically, by employing the broad knowledge they gain from experiences in economics, psychology, sociology and history, students are better equipped to understand how an engineering solution will be accepted and will address societal needs. This kind of reflection goes beyond understanding in the separate disciplines by considering, for example, how economic, safety and environmental issues compete and complement each other and by observing how their own perspectives on these issues have evolved.

Project Overview:

Mechanical Engineering: The objective is to identify a design need, develop engineering specifications for the product, and design, develop and fabricate hardware related to your design project.

Industrial Engineering: The objectives are to (1) design, develop, implement, and/or improve an integrated system or systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy and (2) to use appropriate analytical, computational, and experimental practices in the context of an integrated system; demonstrating skills and knowledge indicative of a capstone project.

This means that the project should require a higher-level of engineering knowledge and skills than found in sophomore and junior-level design classes. Thus, the project must involve significant use of engineering tools and standards, the results of which are used to inform decisions. There are several project formats as part of the course.

Project Requirements. This team-based capstone project must also meet several requirements. These include the following:

[1] This is an ABET ( A ccreditation B oard for E ngineering and T echnology) requirement.

[2] This is an ABET ( A ccreditation B oard for E ngineering and T echnology) requirement.

This is not intended to be an inclusive list. You are free to propose design project ideas based on your interests and/or interactions with industry and other UMass departments.

Senior Design

The capstone Senior Design experience is much like an apprenticeship: students learn to work in teams, meet deadlines, manage project resources, and apply critical thinking to real problems that matter.

Designing the Future

More than 1,200 have gone through the Department of Mechanical Engineering’s capstone Senior Design program since its founding in 1984. Each year, industry sponsors’ cutting-edge projects motivate and excite our students to explore the challenges of design engineering in the real world.

Our sponsors provide student teams with funds for materials, access to world-class resources, and technical contacts; and the students provide sponsors with functioning prototypes that have gone through the design loop several times and have been tested at the clients’ facilities.

Project Themes

Medical Devices & Systems

Projects challenge students to solve important clinical needs through the development of translatable medical devices and systems. Past projects include, for example, working on the design of a biopsy forceps that will help diagnose bile duct cancers.

Industrial, Safety, and Military Equipment

Students build new technologies to enhance safety and productivity while optimizing performance. Projects have included safety mechanisms to reduce lawnmower injuries to children and a new system to keep EMTs safer during transport calls.

Environment & Space

Students apply their engineering skills to projects that will help explore and improve our environment, from the ocean floor to outer space. Recent projects include a prototype that will allow researchers to collect and analyze space dust from the high atmosphere.

Community Outreach

Seniors use their engineering knowledge and skills to serve nonprofit and community organizations. Projects in this area include designing a new cane manufacturing process so that blind individuals can make their own personalized canes.

Past Senior Design Projects

See our Design Day Brochures from our previous events to have an insider's look at the amazing projects our students create.

“ “While working with my Senior Design team, I was able to truly dive into the engineering process and gain experience I was not able to in any other class. From designing, rapid prototyping, manufacturing, testing to presenting, and communicating with sponsors—the amount of work that is directly applicable to industry is significant. I feel fully prepared to apply everything I have learned and continue to build upon this experience for the remainder of my career.” ”

Why Sponsor?

Our Senior Design program has a strong history of collaboration with sponsors from a range of disciplines across industry, government, academia, and nonprofit. Sponsors provide an open-ended problem and our students take the project through the design process to deliver their client an inventive, tangible solution. Projects that sponsors may not have the time or resources to pursue become the top priority of a team of Hopkins engineers.

Sponsors continually tell us that the Senior Design experience gives a solid return on their investment. Sponsors are exposed to the fresh perspectives and creative thinking of the very best undergraduate engineers—and Hopkins faculty—and a talent pool of potential employees.

The capstone Senior Design experience allows students to develop skills and apply concepts that are valued by employers. In return, sponsors get the opportunity to connect with the next generation of leaders in innovation and engineering design. It is a win-win for all involved.

“ For a small cost, ARL gets the chance to have engineering students work on a design challenge that is important to our mission and could provide great payback. As a sponsor, ARL helps young engineers coming out of college be much more productive when starting their careers. One major benefit for ARL is that we have hired some graduates and they were ready to jump right in. ”

Projects with purpose.

Senior Design requires students to draw upon the four years of knowledge and experience they’ve gained in their engineering studies and put it to practical use. Here’s a sampling of the unique projects our students have worked on:

Next-Generation Helicopters - In collaboration with the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense, Senior Design students developed a strong but light floor panel for military helicopters.

Working with researchers at the the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy, Senior Design students developed a device that allows smoke detectors to be installed without using a ladder. This decreases the risk of injury while allowing for quick and easy installation of smoke detectors that save lives.

Making Wind Energy - Students designed and built a miniature dual-rotor, counter-rotating wind turbine capable of harvesting more energy from wind in a smaller space. Their design competed in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Collegiate Wind Competition, where they took home second place. Watch this video about their project.

Oxygen Concentrator for Low-Resource Settings - Oxygen therapy through oxygen tanks is the most common treatment for COVID-19, however oxygen tanks have become scarce in low-resource settings. But there is another option: oxygen concentrators. Mechanical Engineering seniors worked with Prime Manufacturing to create an oxygen concentrator for low-resource settings.

Juniors, Prepare for Senior Design!

Senior Design

Senior Design exposes mechanical engineering students to the design process and experience that is typical for a practicing engineer in industry. During Senior Design, students will be assigned projects based upon their interests. Student teams will be paired with a project client. The teams will be required to integrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their undergraduate studies to develop innovative solutions that adhere to engineering standards as well as problem constraints.

For questions about designing a project, contact John Fick , University Center Coordinator, at 608.342.7528 or email [email protected] or Jessica Fick at 608.342.1721 or email [email protected]

Teams

Design projects will be completed by teams consisting of typically three to five students during the last semester of their studies. These teams will have access to a variety of state-of-the-practice mechanical and other engineering tools. Students and faculty will meet weekly in formal progress meetings and will meet additionally as the need arises.

Project Management

The course instructor, with the assistance of the Engineering, Mathematics and Science Project Coordinator, will solicit and select projects for each student team. For the remainder of the semester, each team will be responsible for all project management, including adhering to deadlines, communicating with the client, ensuring that their work stays on schedule, organizing project meetings, and other related tasks and responsibilities.

Client Responsibilities

The project client will be responsible for providing the student team with a high-quality, challenging, and real-world problem to solve. Additionally, the client will provide the necessary background information and data; help to define the problem; reply to student requests for information throughout the semester; and attend the final presentation.

Sponsor a Project

Clients are invited to financially sponsor the Senior Design class. For more information about sponsorship opportunities, please contact the Engineering, Mathematics and Science Project Coordinator.

Please note that sponsorship is not considered a contract for deliverables, as projects are carried out by undergraduate students pursuing an educational program and not providing engineering services.

Scope of Work

Students will each work extensively over the course of the semester and produce a project report that may include preliminary designs, cost estimates, and related information.

Project Guidelines

The best projects have a very engaged client who will benefit from the work being performed. The client-team interaction and working relationship provides a central component of this real-world experience. Projects must have a significant design component and require analysis of the problem. This means that the students will be given a set of constraints; they must use knowledge from engineering courses that they have previously taken; they must understand and use codes and standards; and the project must require iteration on multiple alternatives to obtain an ideal solution.

The project team will deliver their final presentation to a diverse audience of stakeholders during the final week of the semester.

Senior Engineering Program

In the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering , the Senior Engineering Project (SE 494) is the capstone experience for undergraduates.

Teams composed of three to four students and a faculty advisor solve real-world problems submitted by industry partners, who not only fund the projects, but also work closely with each team. In this remarkable collaboration of education and industry, students take the lead on the research.

The results are documented in a final written report and a formal presentation to the company; either the students solve the problem the company gives them or demonstrate that it cannot be solved. Many teams have seen their solutions implemented, increasing productivity and profitability at the sponsoring companies.

Our Senior Engineering Project Laboratory simulates the working environment and resources a young engineer would find in a corporate engineering environment.

First implemented at Illinois in 1961, emulated by other universities and now a standard practice across all accredited engineering schools, the Senior Engineering Project is part of the legacy of the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at Illinois. Our Senior Engineering Project class was used to set national accreditation standards for all Senior Engineering Project management courses.

The Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering continues to attract real projects from large and small companies, which have included McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, Dow Agrosciences, Monsanto, and General Electric. Illinois Senior Engineering Projects continue to win many awards, including Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation Awards.

The Senior Engineering Project is where students put it all together—knowledge, skills, creativity; and abilities to lead, contribute as an individual, and work as a team. The value to our students of organizing, executing, and completing a real-world engineering project for an established company is extraordinary, and makes our graduates attractive to employers.

Companies We've Worked With

The hundreds of companies we've successfully helped include

Industry Partners

Problems offered by the participating companies are real ; each partnering company provides financial support and is vitally interested in the project outcome. This involvement makes the experience extremely valuable for our students.

Students have continuous interaction with the contact engineer(s) from the company and meet at least twice a week with the faculty advisor assigned to their project. This is a great opportunity to learn by example as the contact person and the faculty advisor engage the students in the problem-solving process. As the project progresses, its direction can change drastically; mid-course renegotiation of the problem statement is not at all uncommon.

The communication skills that make this program work are emphasized throughout the course. During the first week of the semester, students visit the partnering company to completely understand the problem statement, scope of work and deliverables, as well as the business process of the company. Oral presentations are given on-campus at 5 and 10 weeks, with an on-site, formal progress report/presentation at the company facility during week 11 or 12. Four written reports are prepared by the students, including the final report detailing their findings, economic analyses, drawings, etc. At semester's end, all participating companies attend the Final Symposium on campus, where the student teams give formal presentations of their results and recommendations.

The time deadlines which are set by the length of the semester are typical of engineering in the real world. A feasible solution that is delivered in a timely manner is required. Students learn to create a problem statement and project plan that represents something they can deliver within a semester.

Students learn to use a variety of resources and are discouraged from "re-inventing the wheel." They are required to perform a thorough library search and to consult with faculty members throughout the university. The students' broad engineering education provides them with a solid foundation for understanding a variety of technical areas. Funding is made available to the student teams for travel, equipment, laboratory time and tests, software, prototyping, and other activities required by their projects.

Students learn to appreciate Systems Engineering and Design knowledge as the key to solving many current engineering problems in manufacturing and design. The tremendous variety of issues they face on their project gives them a chance to put their engineering education to work. During the periodic oral presentations, students have an opportunity to critique and contribute to the progress of the other projects underway during the semester.

Team work and group dynamics are an important part of the experience. Students learn to coordinate the activities of the individuals who compose the project team. No other university course is as effective in developing this vital skill for today's engineers. GE 494/495 requires a radical change from the solitary performance that is typically expected of engineering students.

The faculty members in Systems Engineering and Design have research interests and technical specializations that span the spectrum of engineering disciplines. The senior project course provides a regular opportunity for industrial interaction for the teaching faculty. As a result, there is a tremendous wealth of expertise and experience available to the student teams.

Take a look a our history of successes. The program in the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering has an unusually high level of faculty involvement with project teams with highly focused, broadly capable students teams. Within this unique environment, we routinely accomplish the dual goals of educating our graduates and meeting the needs of our partnering companies and organizations.

If you have engineering projects that you think may be suitable for this program, do not hesitate to contact us.
