VIDEO: Creating Solutions for MUSKOX Max Attach
Editor’s Note: The following video is a part of a series documenting the impressive discoveries and innovations showcased at the 2026 Senior Design Expo. The series will extend from May through August, with a new video released every Wednesday, and can be watched on YouTube.
In this video, John Schulzetzenberg shows how he and fellow UND Mechanical Engineering students took a problem MUSKOX had and created a solution for their Max Attach, a specialized, shock-absorbing quick-attach plate for skid steers that uses axis torsion technology to provide controllable down pressure. Through the UND College of Engineering & Mines’ Collaborative Experiences program, companies like MUSKOX can apply to support senior design projects while challenging students to solve real-world engineering challenges.
About the Senior Design Expo
The Senior Design Expo is a culminating experience where UND College of Engineering & Mines students present projects developed in collaboration with faculty, industry partners and the community. It’s their moment to share ideas, demonstrate expertise and celebrate years of learning and growth. From cutting-edge prototypes to research-driven solutions, the Senior Design Expo highlights how UND students apply their skills to solve complex challenges and make a tangible impact — a true reflection of UND’s commitment to hands-on learning, discovery and innovation.
