2025 Design Showcase shows the innovation of the students in engineering and computer science

Dean Tina Choe learns the Capstone project of a student at the annual shop window for engineering and computer science.

The design of 2025 engineering and computer science presents one year of the first and future -oriented innovations at the Loyola Marymount University.

The event took place in the university hall and brought together students and doctoral students from Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering to present their final projects. This year's show case included computer science students for the first time, expanded the scope of the event and underlines the growing emphasis on the university on interdisciplinary cooperation and applied research.

The Major of Computer Science, Matthew Lee, created a rendering engine for a game in which he worked with other computer science students called Eve. “I did a lot of the backend rendering,” he said. “Although it was complicated to understand, I learned so much about how pipelines and shaders work.”

Alexander Minor, a two-tan-friendly mechanical engineering with a minor in electrical engineering, built an AI improved 3D printed robot arm. “It's not just mechanical, not electrical, not just software,” he said. “It's all together.”

Doctoral students also presented research work that dealt with the challenges of the real world in the areas of healthcare, materials science and system technology. Their work reflected the depth of the LMU graduate programs and the university's focus on practical, effective learning.

Genevieve Kaminski, doctoral student of the technology for health systems, developed a project to improve patient documentation in clinical environments. “The big one I took from this project was that communication is the key,” she said. “The use of technology can make a real difference.”

Ashley Kobylinski, a doctoral student for mechanical engineering, analyzed the fatigue properties of anodized aluminum alloys. “We tried to find an alternative to chrome coatings that are usually used to prevent corrosion,” she said. “After many tests, Chromic is still ahead, but the project gave us valuable insights into how different alloys react to the treatment.”

Other projects included a robot assistant for the restaurant service, the analysis of CAD design accuracy and the effects of heat treatment on 3D printed metals. The students not only showed technical know -how, but also the ability to clearly communicate their work – an essential ability in engineering and computer science.
