Senior Design – Round 1

By guest blogger and PSE Senior, Michelle Blood

The first round is done!

Senior design finished up the first of four reports and three presentations week before last!  Five of six groups were able to take advantage of the snow and ice, and worked on the presentations an extra week.  PSE Senior Design helps students see the paper world from a consulting point of view.  We become different consulting firms working on making a change to ‘Wolfpack Paper Company.’

This year’s projects include adding two different recycling plants (office waste and OCC), a variety of machine changes, and supplementing purchased chips to the existing roundwood operation.   Overall, the presentations went well and we are looking forward to continuing our projects throughout the semester!
