The Senior Design Expo for 2017, held on Dec. 7, was a rousing success. Senior Design students began the day showcasing their projects in the NEB Lobby at 11:00, while students, faculty, and interested onlookers explored. Among the onlookers were ‘celebrity’ ECE judges:
- Retired faculty member Dr. Leon Couch
- Alumnus Don Irons (BSEE 1969)
- Alumnus Ralph “Rocky” Long (BSEE 1971 Engineering, MS 1977)
The judges, along with ECE Chair Dr. John Harris, selected the five best projects which would compete for first place (as well as some scholarship money). The results were as follows:
| Place | Project Title | Students |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Drone Glove | Christoph Porwol & Alex Rodriguez |
| 2nd | Analog Synthesizer | Kristian Legcevic & Keenan Lind |
| 3rd | Timeless Clock | Stephany Herrera $ Angel Vera |
| 4th | Smart Pen | Paige Bohana & Amber Ransford |
| 5th | GatorSynth Eurorack Step-Sequencer | Kyle Griffey & Kurt Yilmaz |
