PCE Outreach News
Fall 2025 Project Day
December 16, 2025
The Seymour & Esther Padnos College of Engineering (PCE)
hosted its Fall 2025 Project Day on December 4th in the
Shape Corp. Innovation Design Center. Held every Fall and Winter
semester, Project Day represents a culmination of student effort and
hard work. This event provides space to recognize student achievements
and celebrate the success, curiosity, and dedication of our incredible
students. This semester, over 100 PCE students, both undergraduate and
graduate, presented projects that fostered meaningful conversations
and cross-disciplinary learning in STEM.
Project Day also serves as an important initiative for K-12
outreach. This semester, approximately 40 local high school students
from West Michigan Aviation Academy and GVSU’s TRIO/Upward Bound
Wyoming cohort attended Project Day. The high schoolers were able to
interact with PCE presenters and ask questions about their projects.
Additionally, visiting students and GVSU community members had the
opportunity to vote for their favorite projects. We received over 300 votes!
Congratulations to the Fall 2025 Project Day winners:
