Electrical Engineering Senior Design Poster Winners Receive Prizes From Keysight Technologies

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 senior Sarah Jagessar explains a group project at the 2017 Senior Capstone Design Poster Competition.

This group project won the second-place departmental award for their work with Black & Veatch on the 115kV-34.5kV Arcadia Substation & Solar Farm Design.

 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.
