Key Facts

From cyber security, smart-phones, and robotics to satellite communications, renewable energy, and smart grid technologies, Electrical and Computer Engineers have found a way to create innovative connections and integrate these technologies into today’s lifestyle.

Mississippi State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering held the end-of-the-semester ECE Capstone Design Showcase, and three student teams were recognized for their projects.

The showcase highlighted the ECE Capstone Design II class. The students presented their two-semester projects to faculty, staff, students and visitors to demonstrate the culmination of their knowledge and skills. Each team produced a project that needed to incorporate appropriate engineering standards, fabricate designs, test projects and demonstrate fully functional projects.
