Good Afternoon
UMBC Capstone Community,
Clients, Faculty and Staff and More!
Dr. Paris von Lockette, Dr. Chuck Laberge, Prof. Adam Bridendolph (Shady Grove)
and Dr. Jamie Gurganus, the Senior Design instructors, extend a warm invitation
for you to join us either in person or online for the:
Spring 2025 Senior Mechanical
& Multidisciplinary Engineering
Capstone Design
Showcase
May 9th,
starting at 9am in ITE 237
We're thrilled to present the progress of 18 teams as they share their projects, tracing the path from the inception of their ideas to the refinement of their final products. The Mechanical Engineering & Multidisciplinary Capstone teams have dedicated themselves tirelessly over the semester or year (~15 weeks or 9 months) to ensure excellence in their creations. We extend a warm invitation to the community to join us in witnessing the final stages of development before graduation.
Please know that we have several ASME Professional Engineers joining us that day who will be asking the majority of the questions. They will be selecting awards for ASME Best Project and ASME Best Presentation of the Semester. And, YOU will also be able to vote for the People’s Choice Award. Although ALL of them are amazing!
Schedule for the day (detailed list of presentations is below and attached)

Course Description:
· The Capstone course empowers engineering students to embark on a comprehensive system design journey, culminating their curriculum experience. It serves as the pinnacle of a series of design courses essential to the undergraduate program, facilitating the integration of diverse technical knowledge acquired in earlier studies. Through this course, students develop a solid grounding in team leadership and project management, equipping them to navigate their professional endeavors with clarity and effectiveness, thereby making meaningful contributions to their chosen fields. Additionally, students may have the opportunity to choose projects sponsored by industry partners, nonprofit organizations, or faculty/organizations affiliated with UMBC.
Looking forward to seeing you there!! It's an exciting time!
