A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRS
Lisa Aultman-Hall Professor and Chair
Andrea Scott Professor and Associate Chair
On behalf of the graduating Systems Design Engineering students and our SYDE faculty and staff team, we are delighted to welcome you to the 2023 Capstone Design Symposium.
We wish our sincerest congratulations to all the Capstone Design student teams. Reaching this significant milestone required perseverance through nearly five challenging years of work and study, and we are tremendously proud of all the teams have accomplished.
The Capstone Design Symposium serves as the culmination of the program within which we deliberately and explicitly embed design experiences. At the core of our curriculum, we are equipping students with the skills to design solutions to improve the human experience and society, the environment, and economies. This is exemplified in the breadth of problem spaces tackled in this year’s projects. The formal approaches for iterative design, prototyping, and engineering analysis allow our SYDE graduates to excel in and contribute to the timely challenges facing our world.
We wish our graduates every success in their lifelong learning journey. As students look back on their SYDE experiences, the ups and the downs, we invite them to remain a part of our SYDE community, keep in touch, and be part of designing the future program for the students that will follow.
