The showcase of engineering and computer science in 2025 marked a year of first and presented the avant-garde innovation at Loyola Marymount University.
Held in University Hall, the event brought undergraduate students and graduates from everywhere Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering To present their final projects. This year’s showcase included computer students for the first time, expanding the scope of the event and highlighting the university’s growing accent on interdisciplinary collaboration and applied research.
Computer control major Matthew Lee created a rendering engine for a game on which he worked with his computer students in computer science, called Eve. “I made a lot of Backend,” he said. “Although it is complicated to understand, I learned so much about the operation of pipelines and shaders.”
Alexander Minor, a second year mechanical engineering student with an electric engineering minor, built a 3D-printed robotic arm improved by AI-Amélioé. “It’s not just mechanical, not electric, not just software,” he said. “It’s all together.”
Graduate students Also presented research that tackled real world challenges in health care, material science and systems engineering. Their work reflected the depth of LMU’s higher education programs and the accent put by the university on practical learning and focused on impact.
Geneviève Kaminski, a graduate student in health systems engineering, has developed a project aimed at improving the documentation of patients in clinical areas. “The great thing that I removed from this project was that communication is the key,” she said. “The use of technology in the right way can make a real difference.”
Ashley Kobylinski, a graduate student in mechanical engineering, analyzed the properties of fatigue of anodized aluminum alloys. “We were trying to find an alternative to chromic coatings, which are commonly used to prevent corrosion,” she said. “After many tests, Chromic is still in the lead, but the project gave us a precious overview of the way different alloys react to treatment.”
Other projects included a robotic assistant for the catering service, the analysis of the precision of CAD design and the effects of thermal treatment on 3D printed metals. Students demonstrated not only technical expertise, but also the capacity to clearly communicate their work – an essential competence in engineering and computer science.
