Welcome to our ONLINE Mechatronics Engineering Capstone Design Symposium Showcase!
Our thirteenth annual Mechatronics Engineering Capstone Design Symposium was canceled the day of the symposium due to the spread of Covid-19 concerns.
This exciting event provides our final-year student teams an opportunity to showcase their design projects to the general public, to industry partners and sponsors, and to the university community.
Thank you to the students, staff, faculty and judges who conceptualized and prepared for the Mechanical Engineering Capstone Symposium. We wanted to take a moment to tell you all how important you are and how proud we are of all of you. #MMEproud #UWcapstone Read the abstracts
