San Diego State University College of Engineering seniors are prepared to envision, design, and build a better world. During the 2024 Senior Design Day, held May 1 at Viejas Arena, senior design teams presented innovative engineering projects to upwards of 2,300 attendees. In the intensive, two-semester Senior Design Course, students collaborate as an engineering team to identify and solve real-world problems, from conception to implementation. With support from sponsors, mentors, advisors, and faculty, the students put their technical knowledge, communication, and collaborative skills into practice. The students showcased various projects from growing plants on the moon and designing non-invasive health monitoring sensors to developing power line wrapping technology to prevent wildfires.

“I remember attending this STEM festival in the Petco Park stadium when I was younger and it aided in the career path I choose today. I encourage the SD community to attend the STEM festival to connect with fellow San Diegans and to allow them to find a passion they did not know they had,” said Bernice Gudino, President of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and bioengineering student.

San Diego State University Lunabotics team, Team Vulcan, returned from NASA’s 2023 Lunabotics Competition as winners of three awards.

Over 80 groups of engineering seniors are hard at work on the finishing touches for their sponsored projects in preparation for the biggest engineering event of the year.

SDSU Engineering knocked it out of the park this weekend! Petco Park, to be specific. Thanks to MESA SDSU, SHPE, SWE, and our major advisors for sharing their love of STEM with San Diego kids and families at Generation STEAM's San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering.

This National Engineers Week, we're highlighting five engineering student leaders across our college to showcase the work they're doing, the research they're conducting, and the impact they are making on both SDSU and the field of engineering.

Please save the date for our Spring 2023 Engineering Design Day event which will be held in-person in Montezuma Hall, on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, from 1:30pm –4:00pm.
