WHAT IS MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN DAY?

DESIGN DAY highlights the talents and creativity of mechanical engineering students in the Integrated Product and Process Development Course. Teams of senior level students present project prototypes built to solve selected engineering problems. Design Day attracts a wide audience that includes the campus community, area high school and middle school students, family, friends, and anyone interested in innovation and product design. Projects are judged by faculty, students, and industry representatives based on technical criteria. All visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite project, and the team with the majority of votes is honored with the “People’s Choice Award.”

ENME408 TERPS RACING Automotive Design Established in 1982, Terps Racing has participated in over 60 races. The team has consistently placed in the top ten in the Formula SAE World Rankings, making Maryland one of the elite Formula SAE schools.

Formula SAE is an intercollegiate competition that challenges students to design, build, and race a formula style race car. At competition, every facet of the car’s design is scrutinized by industry professionals, which includes marketability and cost in the criteria. The cars are tested through a series of dynamic events: acceleration, skidpad, autocross, and endurance. To win, the car must be the best-on and off the track.
