Mechanical engineering seniors present final projects

Imagine building a platform that assists quadriplegic hunters or constructing a device used to alleviate back pain in the comfort of your own home; picture a solar-powered automatic deer feeder or a solar-powered vehicle and charging system that would utilize LSU’s electric charging stations located on campus.
