Engineering Expo 2026

Please join us for the Western-CU Boulder Engineering Partnership Program’s Engineering Expo 2026 on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the Rady Building. Engineering Expo brings together students, business owners, engineers, alumni, faculty, and community members for an evening of innovation, connection, and celebration. This year, capstone teams will showcase the projects they have been developing throughout the academic year. Their work reflects months of design, testing, collaboration, and problem-solving, and we are excited to share it with you. New this year: projects will be formally judged, and attendees will have the opportunity to vote for a People’s Choice Award. We’d like to thank our community sponsors and partners: Crested Butte Museum, PROVUU, Gunnison Valley Observatory Western Mountain Rescue SAE Baja Vele Wind Tunnel & more!
