A Baton Rouge loop. It would be underway if gas taxes were up to date.

Civil engineering senior projects tend to be boring and more theoretical since you obviously lack the budget, man power, and space to build anything. I was always jealous watching the mechanical guys have working robots and junk. Ours was simply designing a building to meet certain criteria with some challenges thrown in to make it interesting. Finished 2nd place in a 1 vote race after our Senior Design professor spent all semester telling us we were a slam dunk to win.

The day I found out my assigned group was the biggest sigh of relief in my college career. Prof gave us the notorious class slacker, but to compensate threw in 4 of the best students. We let the slacker sit on the sideline the entire semester and basically wrote his script for the presentations. He was a funny dude though and would actually show up to meetings, so we were all cool with it

LNG Sampling System. Had to create a sampling system for Cameron to determine the pressure and temperature of liquid natural gas as it’s being transferred to customers. It determines the quality apparently. We installed a temperature probe and pressure transmitter but it didn’t really work the way it should have. We passed lol

What’s this?

Not an engineer but a huge fan of desert racing and the long travel suspensions. Would have been all over this.

We made a mini-quadcopter drone that could function as an AM radio repeater in the backcountry. Building it was easy, but programming it was the most frustrating task I’ve ever attempted. None of us knew anything about coding, so there were ALOT of crashes

i was in an all EE team doing an all electrical project and de souza literally gave hardly any direction and assigned the ME page on our moodle, so we were late on things at the beginning because our first thought was that we had no ME part so all we had to do was follow what was on the EE moodle page... which was hardly anything of course... and since we have no ME part there was a bunch of things required on there that we didn't have because our project consisted of just circuit boards

practically had a panic attack trying to crunch the embodiment outline and final draft... hardly ate anything during those few weeks

got our "grade" from him at the end of both semesters and graduated

There was a 1998 FSAE team as well. I was on it with 5 other guys.

The robbing parts from previous cars is a common theme. Ha.


FSAE 2006. We saw this as a problem and our goal was to make sure cars weren’t cannibalized and it would continue. We finished 43rd or something like that out of 120 teams. Best finish ever for LSU and that stood for another 5-10 years. My biggest accomplishment is the fact that we succeeded in making sure it continued as they have built a car every year since and it’s a thriving club activity now. Check out their Instagram @formulalsu. They build way better cars now than we did!

Also my girlfriend designed the logo they are still using.

LSU had too many students when I was a senior. The ME department rubber stamped every idea without checking funding. Our project had to be scaled back to nothing as a bare minimum we were 2x over budget to complete.

Design and build a human powered helicopter. School ended up not funding the project so the scope changed to just design one.
