Welcome to Engineering!
April 12, 2008
We believe that visiting campus is one of the best ways for you to get a complete picture of the educational programs we offer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. We invite you and your family to spend some time with us at NC State during the 2008 College of Engineering Open House.
On April 12, 2008 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, our faculty, staff, and students have arranged an array of presentations and demonstrations that will show you the great variety of things you can do with a degree in electrical or computer engineering. Many of our labs will open their facilities to show you research that's going on in the department right now.
Reception
Our faculty and students will greet you in the west atrium of Engineering Building II on Centennial Campus where you can get a departmental brochure, grab a guide to our labs and displays, and fill up on complimentary refreshments.
Our entry into the DARPA Urban Challange, the "Lone Wolf", will be on display in the gateway arch between the west and east atriums. Lone Wolf is our sleek blue Lotus Elise that has learned to navigate without a driver!

Special Presentations
 Troxler Design Center
Presented by Professor Bart Greene
Senior design requires students to utilize design, analysis, speaking and writing skills gained in their undergraduate education to solve real world problems posed by industry and university professionals. It is the capstone course of undergraduate education and this is where it happens.
The Troxler Design Center will be open for walk-through displays of the equipment used by ECE seniors in this course. Several "in the works" projects will be on hand to show the breadth of technologies you can study in the department.  Engineering Entrepreneurs Program
Presented
by Professor Steven Walsh and Students of the EEP
The EEP is a full-immersion educational experience where engineering, business and industrial design come together. Undergraduates participate in multidisciplinary teams taking their ideas from dream to prototype to next generation high-tech product.
Undergraduates at all grade-levels in all the engineering and science disciplines are encouraged to participate in the program with seniors running a project as a virtual startup company. 
Sophomore Laboratory on Signals, Circuits and Systems
Presented by
Professor Mehmet Ozturk
Resistors, capacitors, transmitters and amplifiers--these are just a few of the concepts covered in our regular sophomore laboratory. Get a taste of the course that's the hands-on foundation for all electrical and computer engineers
