SEL Receives Purdue Senior Design Partner of the Year Award

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) has been awarded the Senior Design Partner of the Year Award from the Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University. The award was presented on April 16 during the poster session for the senior capstone project, where students presented their learnings to mentors, peers, and industry sponsors.
During the award portion of the event, the college surprised SEL representatives with the Senior Design Partner of the Year Award for “outstanding support and steadfast partnership in senior projects.”
In the fall of 2024, Purdue University faculty members visited the SEL facility in Lewiston, Idaho, to select projects for the spring semester senior capstone course. They identified four real-world industry challenges for the students to solve for their capstone projects.
This spring, six engineers and technicians from the SEL Manufacturing Division served as industry mentors for more than 24 seniors divided into teams, helping them navigate their semester-long capstone projects. Throughout the semester, students frequently met with their SEL mentors after an initial visit to the Lewiston facility. The mentors provided the student teams with the tools, samples, and data needed to progress in their projects.
SEL is actively involved in supporting the next generation of engineers through higher education. The University Relations team engages with higher education institutions in various ways, including equipment donations, serving on university advisory boards, sponsoring student projects, and offering scholarship opportunities.
