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.
ECEE Senior Design Capstone Demo Day
The ECEE Senior Design Capstone Demo Day features graduating seniors from the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering presenting their capstone projects that address real-world challenges.
