What it is
The year's capstone: teams from every engineering and computing program present the projects they have built to a real client's spec over one or two semesters. Industry judges score a design review; the public walks the floor.
The strongest projects come out of a partnership with a regional employer, several of whom hire on the spot.

Getting there and getting in
The campus is 86 acres and nothing is more than a ten-minute walk from anything else; see the building directory for Ironclad Fieldhouse. Accessible routes and entrances are on the accessible campus map. For an in-person event that lists registration, register through the office below; walk-ins are usually fine for anything marked open or free.
What to expect when you arrive
No registration is required for this one — arrive any time during the listed window and expect a short check-in table near the entrance if the event runs one.
If you can't make it
Many events like this repeat each semester or year — filter the full calendar by "Academic" to find the next one. Not every session is recorded; if this one matters and you cannot attend, ask College of Engineering & Technology directly whether materials or a recap will be available afterward.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. This event, its date, venue and details are invented; nothing here announces a real event.
