With 500 seniors presenting almost 100 projects, UA Engineering Design Day 2016 served up the best of Wildcat ingenuity.
As always, aerospace and mechanical engineering students played a significant role in the event's success.
More than half of the 20 award-winning teams included mechanical engineers. Among them were Team 15023 with Michelle Gutierrez and Justin Javelosa, receiving the first-prize Bly Family Award for Innovation in Energy Production, Supply or Use; and Team 15044 with Austin Nawrocki, receiving the Texas Instruments Analog Design Contest Award.
Mechanical engineering major Brennen Guy also won the first-prize Kristy Pearson Fish Out of Water award, for his work with Team 15030 on Water Processing and Cleaning for Reuse for sponsor Shamrock Foods.
In addition, the all-aerospace engineering Team 15098 won the Arizona Technology Council Foundation Award for Best Engineering Analysis with the project X-56A Aeroelastically Scaled Modular Aircraft for Research. The project was sponsored by AME, and professor Hermann F. Fasel served as their mentor and adviser.
