Engineering students show off creative solutions to real-world challenges
In annual Design Day showcase, students present their designs and devices to faculty, staff, sponsors, alumni, and each other By Lisa Ercolano / Published May 3, 2021
In laboratories, design spaces, living rooms, bedrooms, and basements, students at Johns Hopkins have been working around the clock to tweak and refine their engineering creations. These projects include a new material that would make solar cells more efficient, a device that would enable earlier detection of recurrent brain tumors, and a freeze-dried bacterial powder that accelerates the process of aging cheeses.
These projects, more than 100 in all, will be presented virtually to faculty mentors, industry sponsors, fellow students, alumni, and other guests tomorrow at the Whiting School of Engineering s Design Day an annual rite of passage that showcases students ability to apply knowledge accum
