Stevens students display products and machines of the future
Fourth annual Engineering Design Day taking place on campus
HOBOKEN, N.J. — Necessity may not be the only mother of invention. With projects such as an instant messaging service for campus, a wireless media player for an automobile and a one-man off-road vehicle, the students at Stevens Institute of Technology are proving that sheer want-to and innovation are vying for paternity at the Fourth Annual Engineering Design Day on Wednesday (April 26).
Stevens’ Engineering Design Day showcases undergraduate design activities of students who have worked on group projects since September. Special recognition will be given to graduating students who have completed Senior Design Projects, and freshmen, sophomores and juniors will display their projects from their respective design courses.
One of the most grueling tasks of the Stevens students’ academic careers is their design projects. Beginning in the first weeks of the academic year, the students form groups and select projects to work on for the year. Some of the projects are corporate sponsored while others aren’t, but all projects create solutions to real-world problems or needs.
WHAT: Stevens Institute of Technology’s Fourth Annual Engineering Design Day
WHEN: Noon to 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 26, 2000
WHERE: The second floor of the Wesley J. Howe Center, central campus
