Of the university's over 6000 undergraduates, over 800 students participated in at least one of the Student Design and Experiential Learning Center's (SDELC) fourteen student design teams in the last year. Student design teams have provided undergraduate students with opportunity to apply skills to solve real-world problems in a competitive environment. The teams are independently managed by the students, who conduct the majority of the adminstrative, business, PR, fundraising, engineering, manufacturing, and management activities of the team. The SDELC provides students with extensive 24/7 access to a machine shop, design studio, electronics lab, composites lab, welding equipment, and general fabrication space, all for design team activities. The challenging and independent nature of the design teams has foster a culture of creativity and innovation among the participating students (whether or not they realize it). Currently, the SDELC supports the following 14 teams:</span></span>
