2019 Symposium

2019 School of Science, Engineering, and Health Symposium

The 16th Annual Symposium was held on Friday, May 3, 2019.

Students presented on the research and work that they had been doing this year. Parents, families, and friends found out the work that had been part of their student's lives. It was a good opportunity for alumni to hear first hand about the exciting work going on here at Messiah and hear how the work that they started is being continued. It was a good place for high school students to find out about what is involved in the different professions that are represented in our school.

The Engineering Department had 25 presentations during the 2019 Symposium in two venues and 24 posters presented during the morning and afternoon poster sessions, and, as always, a simultaneous webcast!

The Engineering Presentations are part of the School of Science, Engineering and Health Symposium.  You can find out more information about the Symposium as a whole at the Symposium website.
