Electrical, Computer Engineering Students Unveil Projects

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University will host Senior Design Day on Wednesday, April 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Talley Student Center on the NC State campus.

About 150 electrical and computer engineering students will showcase projects from their senior design project course. Past projects have included wall- and ceiling-crawling robots, a device to allow divers in murky water to communicate with each other, and a control system for fire retardants dropped from aircraft during wildfires.

Media coverage of the event is invited.

The culmination of electrical and computer engineering students’ education at NC State, Senior Design Day calls on students to employ their engineering skills in designing solutions to real-world problems.
