Spring 2026 FIU CEC Senior Design Showcase

BRIDGING INNOVATION WITH INDUSTRY Join us for FIU's Senior Design Showcase, where more than 450 senior students from the College of Engineering and Computing present 100+ capstone projects in a dynamic exhibition. Divided into eight industry-centric pavilions, such as health-tech, cybersecurity, automation & manufacturing, this event is an opportunity to connect directly with emerging talent, see real-world solutions, and engage in one of the largest annual showcases of undergraduate design work in the region. WHY ATTEND * See Practical Innovation. Projects span areas including software, hardware, systems engineering, IoT, cybersecurity, AI/ML, automation, healthcare technologies, next-gen electronics, infrastructure and more. Each project demonstrates not just theoretical knowledge, but solutions for real challenges. * Meet Tomorrow’s Engineers and Computing Professionals. Engage with multidisciplinary student teams. Understand their technical approaches, constraints and creative pivots. Build relationships early; these students will soon enter the workforce. * Recruit & Sponsor. Identify candidates, hold informal interviews and scout for internship/full-time hires. * Shape the Future. Discover opportunities to sponsor future projects, mentor teams and collaborate with FIU on research and workforce development initiatives. * Network & Collaborate. Connect with our subject matter experts, academic leadership and peers in engineering, technology and R&D. WHO SHOULD ATTEND * Industry professionals seeking new ideas, technologies and future hires * Corporate recruiters and HR leaders from technology and engineering sectors * R&D and innovation teams exploring collaboration opportunities with FIU * Investors, mentors and community leaders supporting STEM innovation * FIU faculty, staff and students interested in witnessing cross-disciplinary excellence * Friends and families of our graduating students, celebrating their achievements and creative accomplishments EVENT DETAILS 📅 Date: Friday, April 17; 1:00 - 5:00 pm Program: * Project Exhibition, Networking & Judging (1:00 - 4:00 p.m.) * Closing Ceremony (4:15 - 5:00 p.m.) featuring leadership remarks and Pavilion awards. 📍 Location: Ocean Bank Convocation Center, 1180 SW 113th Avenue, Miami, FL 33174 🎟️ Admission: Free and open to the public but registration is required 💬 Contact: cecshowcase@fiu.edu Note: If you are a Senior Design 2 or Capstone 2 student presenting at the Showcase, please do not complete this registration form; your participation is already being tracked separately.

ABOUT THE SENIOR DESIGN CAPSTONE In their final year, FIU’s engineering and computing students take the Senior Design Capstone, a culminating experience where they apply everything learned in the classroom to develop original ideas, advanced designs, and innovative solutions for real industry challenges. The Showcase is where these projects come to life; a public platform for students to demonstrate how they turn theory into practice and creativity into impact. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness how FIU’s engineering and computing students are innovating what’s next; solving real-world problems through creativity, collaboration and cutting-edge technology.
