The Integrated Design Engineering program presented their 50th project design expo on Dec. 3. The expo celebrates engineering solutions created by first, second and third-year students across majors. 

Students used a wide variety of skills to make their proposed solutions into a reality. From a vertical hydroponic garden and algae-collecting robot to a mechanical flower that blooms in the dark and a device that thwarts catalytic converter theft, the students created innovative solutions testing the skills they honed during their classes.

Integrated Design Engineering leads the college’s efforts in first-year projects courses and supports multiple classes and a major focusing on collaborative and interdisciplinary problem-solving through a hands-on approach. 

Expo participant Stefan Ferla said he appreciated the chance to work on somethin
