Wireless sensors alerting firefighters to potential harm and an environmentally-sound boat engine for use in national parks are among the student engineering projects to be showcased at this event.

More than 50 projects designed by University of Arizona engineering students will be shown at Engineering Design Day, the College of Engineering's premier showcase of student design.

Design Day marks the end of a yearlong experience that involved students working on real problems with real clients. The program gives engineering students a chance to apply four years of engineering education to a project that has real benefit.
