For their senior design project, a team of Drexel Engineering Technology students designed a custom security system for “In the Garden,” a newly installed 270-panel mural in Drexel’s Main Building. Their design blends cutting-edge tech with subtlety, preserving the artwork while enhancing campus infrastructure. Grace Peterson, Ngozi Enwereji, Nathaniel Haye, and Chase Donnelly were drawn to the project for its technical challenge and the chance to leave a visible legacy on campus. With Peterson and Donnelly focused on electrical systems, Haye handling mechanical design, and Enwereji contributing expertise in robotics, the team brought a balanced mix of disciplines to the table. “As students, we don’t always get to build something that lives on after us,” said Peterson. “But this time, we did.” Read more: (fb)
