The Show Must Go On
2020 Senior Capstone Presentations
While the ICC senior capstone presentations for the graduating class of 2020 certainly looked different than in previous years due to mass gatherings being restricted under COVID-19 guidelines in the State of Ohio, their purpose remains the same. Each year seniors in the Industrial and Innovative Design major demonstrate an accumulation of acquired skills and creative problem solving abilities through a semester-long exploration and proposed design solution for a very wide scope of projects. From sustainable consumer products to real-world architectural space designs, to board games and concept cars, ICC seniors shared their concepts, research, design development and refined proposals on April 27, 28 and 29 live on Zoom video conferencing!
An overview and a link to each presentation on YouTube are provided below. If you would like additional information on any of the projects, please contact us.

Redefined Bathroom Products for Fall Prevention and Fall Response
Falling is the leading cause of injury and injury-caused death within the senior population, with 80% of falls in the home occurring in the bathroom. While most seniors want to age in their own home, falling often forces an unwanted move. By designing a line of stylish, assistive bathroom products, my project aims to rid of the negative association these products can have with aging and disability, and address the potential of falling, allowing seniors to prolong their independence.
