🐢 Terp engineering makes a difference 🐢

Vincent Nguyen, a principal lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, along with his students, took on the challenge of building a custom motorized therapeutic swing for a 13-year-old with special needs through the Entrepreneurial Design Realization for Projects of Positive Impact course.

We’re proud to see our Mechanical Engineering students recognized for combining innovation, empathy, and hands-on learning to create meaningful impact in the community.
