Thursday, July 13, 2017 (all day) to Friday, July 14, 2017 (all day)
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has embraced the IDEAS Clinic philosophy in its “ECE Design Days,” a two-day event where 1B ECE students complete open-ended design tasks. Students complete four linked activities that span the ECE spectrum: Hardware, embedded, software, and robotics. Students get hands-on design experience in an open, formative environment where failure is okay and creativity is rewarded, all while integrating knowledge from across their curriculum.
