Senior Project Showcase
Friends of MSOE:
Senior Project Showcase at MSOE is a longstanding tradition. It is in large part a celebration: an opportunity for friends and family, faculty and staff, and community partners and corporate sponsors, to bear witness to the bodies of work that define the graduating class.
Every fall, MSOE seniors across program areas put the knowledge they’ve gained and skills they’ve honed over their academic career to the test. Working with faculty advisors and industry partners, they form teams— or work individually—to solve a problem, improve a product or process, or create something entirely new. After months of learning and discovery, building and deconstructing, successes and failures, the culmination of these efforts are put on display as part of Senior Project Showcase.
While the COVID-19 pandemic situation prevented us from holding a Senior Project Showcase in 2020, we commend them for their hard work and dedication. We can only imagine where they will go next and what they will accomplish, knowing only—and with great certainty—that it will be extraordinary.
Have a Project Idea?
Have an idea that would be a great fit for an upcoming senior project? Many projects are discussed directly with the academic department or undergraduate program primarily aligned to the scope of the project. If you have additional questions or are unsure which academic area your project idea fits best, please refer to the Supporting Senior Projects page of our website.

2018–2019 Senior Project Showcase
The class of 2019's culmination of learning and work was celebrated by the entire MSOE community at the annual Senior Project Showcase day.
The Turbolab Senior Design Project team built a gas turbine engine that can be used as an educational tool in MSOE thermodynamics courses. The safe and reliable gas turbine engine includes necessary instrumentation to conduct a thermodynamic analysis of the system, a lab procedure with background and methodology, and documentation for proper maintenance and safe use of the system. Team members: Ryan Boatright, Jake Boebel, Josh Boyce, Michael Butzen, Travis Mueller and Joshua Walling.
A hands-free, battery powered, automatic camera mount system does not currently exist in a consumer recreational format that allows a user to use their own camera to track and record an object in motion. This team of MSOE electrical engineers has developed the ACTS which works with a smartphone or small DSLR. Team members: Stephen Brandt, Sean Riordan, Ihor Sahan, Ryan Snyder.
