    College of Engineering Senior Design Demonstration Day
    Gampel Pavilion
    1:00 PM

    Senior Design is the final experience of our students’ undergraduate career, a year-long process that provides a hands-on application of the principles and theories they have spent the previous three years honing. Students learn and apply the principles of design; the complex interplay among engineering solutions and societal, environmental, economic and ethical considerations.


The John Lof Leadership Academy

The UConn College of Engineering is proud to announce the establishment of the John Lof Leadership Academy for Graduate Engineering Students. Backed by the generous endowment from John Lof, a former UConn Electrical and Computer Science professor of 35 years, this exclusive Academy will aim to continue the legacy of Dr. Lof, who wished to reward and cultivate a select group of future leaders and engineering trailblazers. The proceeds of the endowment will be used toward the direct support of the student members (in the form of grants and fellowships) as well as the corresponding Academy programs. Applicants are accepted annually for two-year tenures in the academy.
