Senior Design
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."Given a brief description of a product idea, a team of three to four students will design and build a working prototype of the product and document it so that a student of similar education and experience could build another."
Troxler Design Center
The original William F. Troxler Design Center opened its doors in Daniels Hall on November 12, 1997. Unique in the history of the college, the Troxler gift, totaling $157,000, represented the first time an individual had entirely funded the renovation of a laboratory or facility. "As a student in engineering at NC State in the early 1950's, I worked on my design projects on my small kitchen table," said Troxler. "I am proud of my degree from NC State and have wanted to somehow continue my involvement with the university. Providing the funds for this design center seemed to be the best way to show my appreciation for the education I received from this great institution."
When the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering moved to its new home on Centennial Campus, the Troxler family donated an additional $250,000 to continue the Troxler commitment to engineering education. Located in Engineering Building II, the new center boasts expanded workbench space, meeting cluster areas for small design groups, and better equipment infrastructure.
