What is the Student Design and Experiential Learning Center?

The SDELC was established to promote excellence in multidisciplinary student design projects. Combining talents from all across UMR's rich curricula, students work together in order to compete on an international level against top engineering schools. Beyond engineering, students learn management and leadership skills that will distinguish them upon graduation. Focusing on a specific multidisciplinary design gives the student a meaningful example of how to apply design principles.


Our goal is that the experience of working on a student design team will prove intellectually stimulating, teach self-motivation, forge a sense of team pride, reveal the principles and worth of team-based leadership, and instill in each participant the makings of a professional identity.
