Presentations of the Materials Science and Engineering 2010-11 Capstone Design Projects
Congratulations all on an excellent set of final oral report presentations of the Materials Science and Engineering 2010-11 Capstone Design Projects on Friday, April 29.
As in previous years we asked three individuals who are experienced with the practices and requirements of our UConn-MSE engineering design course to serve as judges to evaluate the design and communication skills of the seniors who were making their final capstone
project presentation.
The three judges for the current project year are
- Dr. Donald Potter, Emeritus Professor, Materials Science and Engineering, UConn
- Mr. Blair Smith, Engineering Fellow, Materials Engineering, Hamilton-Sundstrand, and
- Dr. Ed Kurz, Director, IMS Associates Program, UConn.
As the judges delivered their list of award winners, remarked that the quality of presentations were uniformly very good. There was not a big gap between those selected for awards and the remainder of the presenters. The selections of the judging panel follow.
