Engineering Students Build Skills for the Future

May 28, 2026

Engineering students from 探花约啪 Tech's Dover and Stanton campuses presented their end-of-year projects at the College's annual Architectural Engineering Technology (AET) capstone event.

The architectural design technology capstone course requires students to work with various computer-aided design software platforms to develop an architectural project with a team. Students must complete a significant amount of research on building codes, industry practices, and building systems, while working closely with faculty and industry partners.

"For 15 weeks, these students are working hard, working together, collaborating and coming up with a design that works," said Dr. R.J. Chandler Sr., AET instructor, "We are so proud of what they have been able to accomplish."

For their project, Stanton Campus engineering students designed a plan to develop Lums Pond as a Smart Growth Community. Their design focused on attracting community members with a walkable destination and community center that would include a bodega, barbershop, a fitness center, a coffee shop, an outdoor sporting goods store, a salon, and a spa.

Engineering students from the Terry Campus students created a plan for an entertainment hub and NFL stadium they wanted to build in Dover. This project included a proposed 60,000-seat NFL stadium and various entertainment opportunities for a professional football team. The design included a comprehensive entertainment hub that would physically and experientially connect the stadium to Bally's Casino through pedestrian networks, plazas, and shared public spaces.

In addition to presenting their work, students received guidance throughout the course from industry partners, several of whom also served as judges for the final presentations, providing feedback and industry insight for each one.
