📢 Senior Design Spotlight 🎓 After more than a decade, Santa Clara University returned to the ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition—and this year’s Senior Design team delivered an incredible comeback. With little institutional memory, this five-student team designed and built a concrete canoe from the ground up, developing a custom mix to balance strength, durability, and buoyancy. From fabrication to technical presentations, they tackled every aspect of the competition—including the critical flotation test, which they passed with confidence. Competing against larger, more experienced programs, the team earned 3rd place in Men’s Double Slalom and Technical Presentation, along with the Spirit of the Competition Award 🏆 Congratulations to the ASCE Concrete Canoe team, and we can't wait to see your presentation this Friday!

One week out! ⚙️ Senior Design is quickly approaching at Santa Clara University School of Engineering. After months of research, collaboration, and hands-on building, our seniors are in the final stretch—testing, refining, and preparing to bring their ideas to life. We’re looking forward to seeing their hard work take shape on May 8th! 🔗 Check out our 2026 Senior Design Conference portal to explore all the amazing presentations! #SCUEngineering #SCUSeniorDesign2026 #EngineersWithPurpose #InnovationInAction #FutureEngineers

Last weekend @santaclarauniversity hosted the annual Spring Engineering Education Days (SEEDs) Program. A collaboration between @scuengineering and @hispanicfoundationsv . This two day program was for current 10th and 11th graders interested in engineering. Including our first ever parent/guardian program for sunday. Thank you to @bronco_racing @shpe_scu @nsbescu @scumakerclub @scuieee @scuasme @alas.scu @scuswe @scu_mcc @scuadmission @scucareercenter for supporting with workshops and student panels. Thank you to the team from @hispanicfoundationsv for helping make SEEDs possible this year. It was an amazing two days. #SCUengineering #Engineering #HighSchool #Outreach #2026

📢 Senior Design Project Spotlight 🎓 As Senior Design Conference 2026 approaches, we’re proud to highlight the work of Ayden Dauenhauer, Viet Ha, and Harry Ying. Their smart walker system leverages onboard cameras and embedded computing to capture and analyze gait data, including step length, cadence, stride symmetry, and walking speed. The goal is to provide clinicians with a practical, data-driven tool for evaluating mobility and tracking patient progress over time. This interdisciplinary project reflects collaboration between Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering students, led by Maria Kyrarini. Join us at the Senior Design Conference to explore this project and more from our graduating engineers: 📅 Friday, May 8, 2026 📍 Santa Clara University, School of Engineering 🔗 Conference Portal link in bio #SCUEngineering #SCUSeniorDesign2026 #Innovation #HealthcareTechnology #StudentResearch

AI is moving fast. Faster than humans in some cases. Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Yi Fang is working to ensure AI stays aligned with human values, advancing systems that are safe, transparent, accountable, and fair. AI-produced algorithms are now surpassing those designed by humans. So what happens when the human in the loop becomes the human out of the loop? Watch as Professor Fang shares why the future of AI should work with us, not without us. #ResponsibleAI #AppliedAI #SantaClaraUniversity
