MIE Design Expo

MIE will recognize the top mechanical team project with a monetary prize, courtesy of the John H. Weber Scholarship. The John H. Weber Scholarship is in recognition of John Weber’s (MechE 7T9) induction into the Engineering Hall of Distinction in 2016. The John H. Weber Scholarship in Mechanical Engineering will be awarded to a student, or team of MechE students, who demonstrate an interest in automotive and/or aviation design through their Capstone project. The award will be given to the team rated highest by the MIE Capstone judges.

MIE will recognize the top industrial team project with a monetary prize, courtesy of alumnus John Peri (IndE 8T4) and his family. The Peri Family Industrial Engineering Design Award will be awarded to the team that demonstrates exceptional design capabilities. The award will be given to the team rated highest by the MIE Capstone judges.
