From an augmented reality restaurant menu that could change the way we order food to proposed solar sculptures for Orlando City Stadium, 600 UCF engineering \u00a0and computer science students will display 125 innovative projects Thursday during the Spring 2018 Senior Design Showcase<\/a>.<\/p>\n The projects, which will be on display from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Harris Engineering Center<\/a> and Engineering Building II<\/a>, is a culmination of eight-months of effort that students must complete for their capstone senior design course. Engineering and computer science students take Senior Design I<\/em> to brainstorm and design a project before bringing them to life in Senior Design II<\/em> the following semester.<\/p>\n Uniting Florida Engineering Students<\/strong><\/p>\n This year\u2019s showing will have even more to offer, as students from nine other engineering colleges present 25 additional projects for the first Florida-Wide Student Engineering Design Invitational.<\/p>\n The partnership shows how strong engineering and computer science talent is being developed at universities to fuel Florida\u2019s innovation economy. 女仆AV is the nation\u2019s No. 1 workforce supplier to the aerospace and defense industry<\/a> and is among the nation\u2019s top producers of engineers and computer scientists.<\/p>\n
