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.

Electrical engineering students designed a camera tracking system, an interactive runway, and LED-lit garments as special effects for the show.
Keysight Technologies also provided the second-place award, a hand-held digital multi-meter each to seniors Sarah Jagessar, Anas Alsayed, Drey Fickle, and Steven Brown for their work with Black & Veatch on the 115kV- 34.5kV Arcadia Substation & Solar Farm Design.
The top 5 posters for 2017 are currently on display in the Electrical Engineering office. For a complete list of 2017 capstone projects please visit our senior design webpage.
