Engineering Days
Senior Design Showcase
April 23, 2026
9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
The engineering students at Colorado State University hold an annual Engineering Days celebration, “E-Days,” to showcase undergraduate senior design projects. Interact with our students and view a variety of engineering projects in-person at the Lory Student Center and Plaza.
Projects by major
Students in each individual undergraduate major develop a capstone project in their senior year to showcase at E-Days. Students are eligible to win college-wide awards and individual department awards at the event. Explore all the projects by major!

E-Days 2026
For 13-year-old Lamar from Denver, who relies on his wheelchair and nonverbal communication, independence seemed like a distant dream. But thanks to a group of engineering senior design students, that dream is becoming reality.
Civil and environmental engineering undergraduates lead a highly interdisciplinary senior design team they are turning into a startup business improving the water treatment process.
Each year, graduating engineering seniors enthusiastically display their capstone projects at E-Days, and some go even farther, turning classwork into entrepreneurship.
