ECE Design Project Awards

Every year the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) recognizes some of the best student projects from the third and fourth-year design assignments. Students work on applying the theory and skills they've learned by participating in teams and presenting a final concept or system. This year's award ceremony was a "sold out" event and was presided over by William Lynch, chair of the department. He was joined by fellow faculty members, Nawwaf Kharma, Anjali Agarwhal, Chunyan Wang as well as project supervisor, Dmitry Rozhdestvenskiy.
