 <\/p>\n

In this video, mechanical engineering student Bryant Carlisle and computer science student Nathen Afshari break down their senior design project sponsored by John Deere. They\u2019ve created a ground speed test stand for the company, allowing John Deere to bring data collection from the field and into a controlled lab setting. Through the UND College of Engineering & Mines\u2019 Collaborative Experiences<\/a><\/strong> program, companies like John Deere can apply to support senior design projects while challenging students to solve real-world engineering challenges.<\/p>\n
