Creativity and innovation were on full display at the Spring 2025 Design Showcase, where Jacobs Hall transformed into a vibrant hub of ideas, experimentation and human-centered design. Students unveiled a wide range of projects, prototypes and research developed through Jacobs Institute-hosted courses and the Master of Design program. The showcase also highlighted work from the mechatronics design capstone course (ME 102B), independent student innovators.
