Design Day 2025 was a tremendous success! Our Biomedical Engineering (BME) Senior Design and CMTI MS teams once again impressed with their innovation, professionalism, and commitment to solving real-world challenges. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and deeply grateful to the mentors, sponsors, and supporters who made this memorable day possible.
Hosted annually by the University of Rochester’s Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Design Day is a showcase of student innovation and collaboration. Each year, senior engineering students — along with master’s students in the Center for Medical Technology and Innovation (CMTI) — present their capstone projects to the public. These projects are developed in partnership with industry sponsors and healthcare institutions, with a focus on designing prototype medical devices and research tools that address real-world problems.
Deign Day was created to provide students with an opportunity to plan and execute a design or research project. Proposed projects are open-ended, allowing students to exercise their creativity and make informed choices among different options. Students are assessed based on their approach and execution, not the project outcome per se, permitting them to work on difficult problems and search for innovative solutions.
Senior Design projects at the University of Rochester also provide companies with the opportunity to work with the next generation of engineers, scientists, and programmers. As part of these projects, our students create custom solutions to given problems while under the observation and guidance of a university faculty advisor.
We thank everyone who participated in and supported Design Day 2025 — and we look forward to seeing how these outstanding students will shape the future of engineering and medicine.
