Hajim Design Day
Design Day is an annual event hosted by the University of Rochester Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. This year's event will be the first Friday in May:
Design Day
Friday, May 3, 2024
Hajim Quad
9am - 3pm*
* Note: Biomedical Engineering students
will present their projects from 12:30 - 3:00pm
Each year seniors in the Hajim School departments and programs, as well as students in the Center for Medical Technology and Innovation (CMTI) master's degree program, showcase their capstone projects in person. Students partner with companies and institutions to solve real-world engineering problems through developing prototype medical devices and research instruments.
The program was created to provide students with an opportunity to plan and execute a design or research project. Proposed projects are open-ended, allowing students to exercise their creativity and make informed choices among different options. Students are assessed based on their approach and execution, not the project outcome per se, permitting them to work on difficult problems and search for innovative solutions.
Senior Design projects at the University of Rochester also provide companies with the opportunity to work with the next generation of engineers, scientists, and programmers. As part of these projects, our students create custom solutions to given problems while under the observation and guidance of a university faculty advisor.
