Senior Design Showcase 2026
Join the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) at the University of California, Riverside for the 2026 Senior Design Showcase, an annual celebration of student innovation, collaboration, and real-world engineering practice.
The showcase highlights capstone projects developed by undergraduate engineering students through an intensive, multi-quarter experience. Working in teams, students design, build, and test solutions to complex challenges, culminating in functional prototypes presented to the public.
Attendees can engage directly with student engineers, explore live demonstrations, and learn how ideas evolve from concept to implementation, balancing technical rigor with creativity, safety, and real-world constraints.
