The Fall 2009 Design Expo
will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2009.
The public is invited from 12:00-3PM.

  

The Engineering Design Expo is held twice a year, at the end of the fall and spring semesters. The event takes place at the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory on the CU-Boulder campus. Student groups from all engineering majors are invited to display their projects for judges, fellow students and the public.

Participation in the Engineering Design Expo is mandatory for students taking GEEN 1400: First-Year Engineering Projects and GEEN 3400: Invention & Innovation .

All groups presenting at the Engineering Design Expo are required to display a poster about their project. Student teams are organized by course or section, and projects are judged on factors such as design robustness, creativity and innovation. Vounteer judges --- industry professionals or UCB faculty and instructors --- determine the  Best of Section Awards .

The public is invited to get involved with an afternoon tour of the Design Expo. They can voice their opinions by voting for the People's Choice Award . Historically, more than 200 members of the public, ranging from K-12 students and their families to members of the media attend the Expo to view the student projects.

At the fall Design Expo, students from the Engineering Excellence Fund announce the winner of the Sullivan-Carlson Innovation in Teaching Award --- a student-nominated instructor who has most demonstrated excellence through developing and maintaining curricula that improve the education of engineering students.

Many from the community generously volunteer their Saturday to serve as judges.
