Some include engineering research yielding results presented in technical conferences. Others may require extensive design. Because Widener is a small school, many of our projects are multidisciplinary. Students from several departments often work on the same project. Check the list of 1998-1999 Senior Projects for details.
Many projects involve travel, either to conferences or to contests .
For instance, in 2000 Widener Senior Project teams participated in the SAE 15th Annual Radio Controlled Cargo Aircraft Competition in Florida. Reports, both written and oral, are important part of engineering. The Senior Project prepares students for this aspect of the profession. The team of students present an oral progress report each semester. The students also write an intermediate report at the end of the fall semester.
