Engineering students present final projects Engineering students present final projects

A select group of students in WSU's Engineering 101 classes will present their final projects from 1-2 p.m. today (Wednesday, Dec. 15) in the first floor lobby of Wallace Hall. Come play with a robotic arm, a game of shock and chance, and a cube of 512 LEDs. The event is free and family-friendly.

The engineering course offers students an overview of the engineering discipline, a review of good study habits and hands-on experience as a practicing engineer. For their final projects, students learn introductory digital electronics with microcontrollers by exploring their own interests through problem-based learning. This year the course was taught by John Harrison, adjunct instructor in the College of Engineering and former director of WSU's Center for Research in Arts, Technology, Education and Learning (CRATEL).

Most of this year's Engineering 101 final projects were displayed at Exploration Place on Saturday, Dec. 11. This event is for students who wish to present again or who could not make the earlier event.
