Senior Design Project
The capstone educational experience for OSU Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering undergraduates is the
Senior Design Project. Over the course of two terms, teams of MIME students design, build, and test their solutions to selected engineering design problems; and they present these solutions to a variety of audiences. (For examples of recent projects,

Many senior design projects are sponsored by industry partners and community service organizations;
others are sponsored by OSU
engineering faculty; and still others are initiated by MIME students themselves. Some projects are ME-
or IME-specific, and others are interdepartmental, with team members coming from Electrical and Computer Engineering
and/or Computer Science as well as Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering. All senior design teams work with a faculty advisor
and, where applicable, a mentor from their sponsoring organization.
The Senior Design Project not only provides OSU MIME Engineering students with practical experience in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing
design, but it also sharpens their skills in project management, written and oral communication,
and collaborative group work—all vitally important elements of success in today's global engineering workplace.
