Mechanical Engineering Technology
MET Senior Project
Senior Projects are a year long culminating experience where seniors apply the knowledge they have gained to design, construct, and test a device that solves and engineering problem.
Some of these devices are industry sponsored or part of national competitions.
See below senior Mechanical Engineering projects from 2015-2023.
