On April 25, more than 50 senior students majoring in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering presented their projects at the Resource and Success Center located in the Auburn Science and Engineering Center. These capstone projects were built on five years of fundamentals learned in class and experiential learning opportunities such as undergraduate research, co-op, and design teams. Advisory Council members, faculty, staff, students and families in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) participated in the event to support these graduating seniors.

Congratulations to the following students who received this year's awards:
