Mark Your Calendars for SDSU Engineering Design Day 2026!

The San Diego State University College of Engineering is thrilled to announce that Senior Design Day will return on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 - one of the most anticipated highlights of the academic year at the College of Engineering.

Senior Design Day brings together students, industry partners, families, alumni, and community members for an inspiring showcase of innovative capstone projects developed by our senior engineering teams. This annual tradition celebrates months of hard work, creative problem solving, and collaborative engineering across all departments. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with students about their designs, explore real-world solutions, and see firsthand the future of engineering in action.

To get a glimpse of what Design Day is all about, watch the video below featuring highlights from last year’s event.

We can’t wait to see you there!

The annual Engineering Senior Design Day event takes place the first week of May during the spring semester. As the largest College of Engineering event, it showcases the exciting and innovative design projects that our undergraduate Engineering students create during the academic year. Each of our Senior Design classes in Aerospace Engineering, Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering participate with nearly 90 student projects on interactive display each year.
