Biomedical and chemical engineering (BMCE) students presented their senior capstone design projects in Link Hall. The presentations consisted of eight biomedical engineering teams and six chemical engineering teams. Members of the BMCE Advisory Board, consisting of industrial and academic representatives, served as judges for the poster session. This senior design course challenges students to study real-world issues and develop a solution from concept to prototype.
