Senior Design Symposium

Welcome

The University of Wyoming College of Engineering and Physical Sciences will host its 2022 winter Senior Design Symposium in the Engineering Education and Research Building (EERB) as it showcases a multitude of projects presented by students from various engineering and physical science disciplines.

The symposium is a time-honored tradition for the college to help feature senior capstone projects. Students may choose to represent their projects alone or can join up in teams with other students. Projects cover a wide range of topic areas.

Students put in hundreds of hours to prepare for the event.
