Objectives/OutcomesBiosystems Engineering Senior Design Showcase
2009 Senior Design Showcase will be held on April 16, 2009.
Every year, teams of Biosystems Engineering students, enrolled in the two-semester senior design capstone experience, BE 487, develop, evaluate, and select design alternatives in order to solve real world problems. The projects are diverse, but each reflects systems thinking by integrating interconnected issues impacting the problem, including critical biological constraints. The engineering design process is documented in a detailed technical report. The project designs are then presented to engineering faculty and a review panel of licensed professional engineers for evaluation.
The 2008 showcase was held on April 17, at Kellogg Center. Six teams presented the following projects:
- Water Minimization and Wastewater Disposal at Leelanau Fruit Company
- Extruder Modeling
- Rapid Detection of E.coli in Recreational Waters
- Nutrient Separating Baffle Box for Agricultural Runoff Treatment
- Biodiesel Production in Malawi
- Swine Facility Waste Management Model
