CESG is excited to announce that two of our graduate students won prizes at the ECE Spring Poster Event on February 21, 2025! The event was held in the ZACHRY Engineering Chevron Rooms and this year’s event featured 34 posters from across the Graduate Program’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Groups. Research areas were varied and you can see below the topics touched on by CESG’s Graduate students.
Thank you to all the participants and their efforts to enlighten all of us and represent our college well!
