Cal Poly Pomona College of EngineeringPROJECT SYMPOSIUM 2016

Cal Poly Pomona’s Engineering Project Symposium showcases the results of individual and team-based efforts to solve multidisciplinary technical challenges. For our sixteenth annual Symposium,

approximately 400 undergraduate and graduate students will present projects and exhibits in more than 20 concurrent sessions.

Consistent with the Cal Poly Pomona Learn by Doing philosophy, faculty-mentored projects have been undertaken by students and student teams from our engineering departments: Aerospace, Chemical & Materials, Civil, Electrical & Computer, Industrial & Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, and Engineering Technology. Some projects are interdisciplinary, requiring participation by students across the college and the university. Many projects are sponsored and guided by industry. Projects require planning and most often use a research, prototype, test, and document strategy. The pedagogical model is greatly enhanced by an opportunity to summarize a project in a public forum.
