For over 50 years, students in systems engineering gain real world experience through SE 494: Senior Engineering Project I (formerly known as GE 494). This class enters their projects into the Student Engineering Design Competition by the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation. Hundreds of entries are received every year, but only seven are presented with an award. Over the 2016 to 2017 school year, six ISE senior design projects won the James F. Lincoln Engineering Awards. 

 

Harry Wildblood is the Coordinator of Project Design Activity and teaches SE 494. 

Fall 2016:

Advisor Scott A. Burns helped seniors Brendan Kelleher, Nicholas Lindsey and Michael Morrow. Their project for Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, Experimental Study for Propane Refrigerant with Design Considerations, won silver.
