Electrical Engineering
Students focus on everything from renewable energy and healthcare to aerospace and microelectronics.
The ECEE capstone experience is structured to parallel the experiences new graduates will confront when they start their careers. Student team members develop project management and organization skills, advance their technical breadth and depth, apply newly acquired knowledge, and refine their documentation and presentation abilities.
The Fall 2025 ECEE Senior Design Capstone Demo Day features graduating seniors from the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering presenting projects that address real-world challenges. This culminating showcase is an excellent opportunity for attendees to engage with students and their innovative projects. Come and learn about research from student teams, including some teams presenting live via Zoom.
In addition, the annual Graduate Research Award poster session will coincide with Demo Day with upper division students presenting their posters and competing for awards across the four sub-areas in ECEE.
