S The Engineering Senior Design Clinic is one of the best experiences you will have as a St. Thomas engineering student. This two-semester course is a critical component of the St. Thomas engineering curriculum. It requires student teams to engage hands-on with real-world engineering problems. Students are challenged to create a novel solution to engineering problems posed by an organization. You and your team of fellow students work face to face with engineers and business unit leaders from your organization sponsor. You will take the project from the concept to a working prototype or design. The teams frequently come up with new intellectual property as a part of the projects, which occasionally includes patents. Senior engineering students choose what they want to work on for the year from a range of project options. Some students want to be paired with a big company while others want the experience of working with a start-up. Still others may choose experiential global learning as a part of their research. It all ends with an afternoon to show off your work to family, friends, faculty and industry leaders. enior Design Clinic
This opportunity will follow me wherever I go. I have gained confidence in my abilities as an engineer while also being exposed to what I can work on to improve and really impact the work force. I learned the benefits that come with working on a team, especially when having to overcome obstacles. - Timara Williams, ‘22 mechanical engineering
