2025 STEM Expo - Growlers Education Day
A team from AR Engineering participated in 2025 STEM Expo - Growlers Education Day at Homer Stryker Field, with Erik Dingemans, Thom Carpenter , and Jason Raleigh arriving early to set-up for the day! Students from local school districts arrived eager to explore various hands-on exhibits and were excited about building sandcastles, which demonstrated mechanically stabilized earth (MSE). Students were encouraged to build a non-MSE sandcastle and an MSE sandcastle, and then drop the hammer on both to see the difference in strength provided by the fabric reinforcement. The morning activities wrapped up at 11 AM with everyone invited to attend the Growler’s game.
WMU Engineering Senior Design Conference (Capstone Projects)
Jason Raleigh participated as a judge in the 2025 WMU Civil Engineering Spring Senior Design Conference. The students wrap up their senior year by working on a two-semester long project completing several different design topics of a real world project within the Civil Engineering discipline. The juror panel reviews each of the presentations and asks the students specific questions about details within their presentation. There was a total of 7 presentations from the 2025 Spring Civil/Construction Engineering graduating class.
