Each year, the Engineering Alumni Society sponsors the Senior Design Project Competition for undergraduate seniors at Penn Engineering. The Competition is an opportunity for top students from each of our six departments to showcase their senior projects. This year's event was held Tuesday, April 27 in the Wu and Chen Auditorium in Levine Hall.

Projects are judged for technical merit by the individual departments and nominated for participation in this event. This competition evaluates the student's project overview, communication, creativity and approach as well as conclusions and support.
