An impressive display of STEM innovation filled the Davis Center’s Grand Maple ballroom this week as 80 teams of CEMS students presented collaborative presentations for their first-year seminar (CEMS 1500) projects. A required civic learning course, the seminar introduces students to campus resources, opportunities, and skills pertinent to CEMS degrees. Campus partners propose the projects to address an emerging issue or need and introduce students to the team-based interdisciplinary work that they will encounter later in upper-level courses.

This year’s projects included “Campus Use of Artificial Intelligence,” “Recycling and Zero Waste Jeopardy Game, and the “Design of a New Student Maker Space.” The presentations are reviewed by faculty volunteers who assess and discuss the projects with teams.
