Introduction
The School of Engineering at Grand Valley State University takes pride in it's ability to graduate engineers who can rigorously design products, and then take the results through to physical working prototypes. To this end students are required to do a senior project for a local sponsor. These projects typically result in production equipment, test equipment, or new product designs. The teams are made up of students from multiple disciplines, chosen to ensure project success.
