I love it because it allows me to bring a lunch with me that is not Ramen noodles or Easy-mac. I can bring real food, […]
This semester in Dr. Chu’s Linear Circuit Lab, sophomore Electrical Engineering majors were able to build a simple circuit to measure EKG. Electrocardiography (EKG) is used to measure electrical activity of a heartbeat. EKGs are a widely used tool to diagnose cardiac diseases. Students assembled the circuit by following a given circuit diagram. The circuit was attached to an oscilloscope, […]

Every spring, seniors in both the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering are required to showcase what they have learned through a Senior Design Project. I met with the Mobile Greenhouse team to see what their project looks like. The team consists of five Electrical Engineering majors and their tasks include: Jeffrey Swartzlander – treasurer, primary programmer […]
At the beginning of this semester I was studying to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) scheduled for mid-September. As an RA on a hall comprised of freshmen and transfer students I was also balancing academics, work, and relationships with the women on my hall. There were several times throughout the first month of school that I felt that […]
Every spring, seniors in the engineering department are required to showcase what they have learned through a Senior Design Project. JD Elsey, a senior Electrical Engineering major, spoke about his group’s Senior Design Project: Creating an underwater robot. How many people are in your group? We have five Electrical Engineering students and six Mechanical Engineering students for a total of […]
