On April 7th, the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) kicked off Senior Design 2025. Eleven teams showcased the wide variety of mechanical engineering. Projects included a desktop 5-axis CNC mill, smart insoles for healthy running, an electric bike converter kit, and many more. MEAM students dedicated themselves to their projects, showing creativity and collaborative spirit. Over the course of two semesters, they engaged in research, fabrication, and collaboration with real-world stakeholders to develop these innovative products. Stay tuned for the rest of Penn Engineering's Senior Design 2025. Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics Department, Penn (fb)

As technologies like AI and gene editing reshape our world, engineers must grapple with urgent ethical questions. At Penn Engineering, students are learning how. Senior Lecturer Brit Shields (Gr’15) teaches Engineering Ethics, a course that helps students from all disciplines build practical frameworks for navigating complex moral and regulatory decisions. Rather than offering a list of rights and wrongs, Shields encourages students to consider context, consequences and responsibility. The course is a key part of the Responsible Innovation Initiative, launched by Dean Vijay Kumar to prepare future engineers to lead with integrity. #EngineeringEthics #ResponsibleInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence https://bit.ly/42lOSCR Penn Bioengineering / Penn BSE in AI (fb)
