ASCC students present during Fall 2022 Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series
Orono, Maine — The University of Maine Department of Mechanical Engineering hosted a series of weekly seminar talks during the Fall 2022 semester. Six of the nine speakers in the series were ASCC graduate student researchers. The talks were held live and in-person, and fulfilled the requirement for mechanical engineering graduate students to present a seminar on their research in advance of their final defense.
We are proud of our graduate students and the meaningful research that they do!
