Year In Review
Celebrating Student Resilience and Collaboration
The 2019–2020 Senior Design program at UNL’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering highlighted the resilience and dedication of students who successfully navigated the full development lifecycle of complex, real-world projects. Under the leadership of Christy Thomas, students demonstrated innovation, teamwork, and technical skill, supported by committed faculty, staff, and generous campus partners. From media arts to multicultural centers, the broader university community played a crucial role in student success. This year’s projects underscore the strength of collaboration and the continued impact of experiential learning at Nebraska.
The School of Computing Senior Design Program held its end-of-year online project showcase event on Wednesday, May 5, 2020.
