Penn State Altoona’s Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (EMET) program will offer senior capstone presentations from 8:30 to noon on Friday, April 26, in the Wolf Kuhn Theatre of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts.
Senior EMET students have the opportunity to participate in unique senior projects that span two 15-week semesters. Students are energized to design projects that incorporate the use of three components—electrical, mechanical and programming. The students then research the project idea, design the project, source the materials, build the design, and operate and test the final project.
Student projects are often supported by industry sponsors who submit proposals through the EMET programs. These sponsorships create a mutually beneficial relationship between students and industries, offering real-world experience for EMET seniors and providing efficiencies and new technology for industry partners.
