Engineering seniors and graduate students presented their capstone projects to industry representatives and the Loyola Marymount University community at the Engineering Capstone Design Showcase held on Friday, April 27. These group projects ranged from developing wireless networks for drone communication; to designing an aircraft with unique aerodynamic dimensions. Seniors and graduates channeled the lessons they learned over the course of their education into the projects they developed from concept through to manufacturing. Below you’ll find a full list of the students who presented and their projects.
