Work On Large-Scale Projects

Build your teamwork skills as you work on major projects. At Taylor, your engineering curriculum includes large-scale projects. Work alongside your peers while your faculty mentors you, every step of the way. Explore a few of the exciting projects our students are involved in.

  • Satellites

    We partnered with NASA in 2001. In 2014, we launched Indiana’s first ever university satellite, paving the way for other universities, high schools, and robotics teams. Since then, we have launched many satellites, including CubeSats, NanoSats, and ThinSats.

    Our Satellites

  • Mars Habitat Robot

    A team of engineers developed a 3D printer that could facilitate the future colonization of Mars, in hopes of paving the way for humans to step foot on Mars. The team combined the technology of mobile and gantry units into a single system.

  • Virtual Reality System

    Engineering Computer Science students worked on a complex walking interface for virtual reality. They created a prototype of a walking interface that includes 2 mobile footpads on rails, a user tracking subsystem, a control subsystem, and a safety subsystem.

  • Hovercraft

    Students enrolled in the Principles of Engineering class learn to design and build remotely controllable Hovercraft. They analyze prop thrust, lift, control systems, and design complete systems in CAD software, print and cut 3D model parts, and work with electronic controls, and radio frequencies.
