2026 CEMS Engineering Design Night

2026 CEMS Engineering Design Night Engineering Design Night returns to the Davis Center's Grand Maple Ballroom this spring to celebrate the remarkable senior capstone project designs by teams of Mechanical, Electrical, Biomedical, Civil, and Environmental Engineering Seniors. SEED Program 24 teams from the Senior Experience in Engineering Design (SEED) program will be presenting their designs and prototypes for engineering challenges sponsored by a diverse group of technology companies, UVM departments, faculty members, and regional organizations. This year's exciting projects include: testing/calibration machinesa chocolate truffle packing machinean automatic ice breakersemiconductor device design and testinga knee rehabilitation devicea cargo bike accessorya coconut engraving machinea sensor trade show demonstrationimproved snowblower controlsaerospace sensor packaging and electronicsa precise distance sensorsmall cargo containersa renewable energy sensora hands-free jogging strollera snowpack monitora weeding robotan application-specific head-mounted cameraa tiny wildlife temperature monitorBiomedical Engineering Capstone Program (BCAP) 5 Teams from the Biomedical Engineering Capstone Program (BCAP) will be presenting their innovative solutions to clinical challenges, brought forth by UVM clinicians, researchers, or initiated by the students themselves. This year’s impactful projects include: A combination carpal tunnel release/cauterization deviceA novel electrode design and modeling for improved ventricular tachycardia ablationA new way to keep cardiac tissue alive ex vivo, advancing cardiac model researchA gait sonification device, aimed at improving research and treatment of Parkinson’s diseaseA modular mobile health system for increased access to care in rural communitiesWe want to thank all of our amazing sponsors: Program Sponsors: General Dynamics OTS, GlobalFoundries, Champlain Cable, Simmonds Precision, Viatris Team Sponsors: Birnn…
