BPR awards ceremony: Four students rewarded for their personal electrical engineering projects
The awards ceremony was attended by members of the jury who recognized the top projects from students enrolled in ELE 3000 in the fall of 2013.
The BPR awards ceremony, held on December 6, highlighted the best personal projects submitted by the students. They were analyzed by an external panel of judges that consisted of engineers from within the industry.
