Infinite creativity, frontier technology, and strong corporate presence abounded at JI’s 2014 Winter Design Expo held at the SJTU Library on December 17. Forty-eight projects from freshman course Vg100 (Introduction to Engineering) and senior Capstone Design courses consisting of Ve450 (Major Design Experience), Vm450 (Design and Manufacturing), VM495 (Mechanical Engineering Lab), VX421 (Business Basics for Entrepreneurs), VX421 (Leadership and Business Management), and undergraduate Innovative Practice Program (IPP) were showcased. The throng of visitors including students, parents, corporate representatives, faculty and staff were dazzled by the wide array of innovative technologies, ranging from adjustable high-heels, barrier-free 3-D display, to finger-print recognizing printer.

As a characteristic of the past Design Expo’s, the corporate sponsorship was even more prominent this time. Nearly 20 projects were sponsored by 9 international and domestic companies, including GE, Siemens, Hewitt Packard, Intel, Covidien, Liming Engine Parts, Logic Solutions, and Giti Tire. A Siemens-sponsored project “Gas Turbine IGV Actuation System Miniature Model Development & Demonstration” won the gold prize of the Design Expo competition.
