Seniors in the 2017 Electrical Engineering class presented 13 posters at the annual Senior Capstone Design Poster Competition. This competition is designed as a forum for students to showcase the work that represents the capstone of their engineering career here at the University of Arkansas.
This year, student projects were sponsored by Black & Veatch, Tyson, No Magic, Harrison French & Associates, Challenge Technology, and the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation. Keysight Technologies provided prizes for two winning teams within the Electrical Engineering department.
The top prize, $1,000 donated by Keysight Technologies was awarded to seniors Anne Laschober, Arielle Williams, Alicea Barnett, Zachary Mendez, Isabelle Pumford and Landon Taylor whose project was sponsored by Harrison French & Associates. This project was an interdepartmental effort between the Apparel Merchandising/Product Development (AMPD) and the Horticulture Department to develop an interactive show for AMPD's second annual Fashion Show, Enclothe: Futuristic Floral 2017.
