CETA has once again showcased our talented students on CETA Day, May 8, 2009. Seniors presented their capstone projects and several Master’s degree candidates presented their thesis projects.Many of our senior and Master’s projects are solutions to real-world problems brought to us and sponsored by local industry; others are projects that students propose themselves; all require a demonstration of results. These projects are a valuable integrative experience for CETA students, who must demonstrate what they have learned over the course of their time here through the work they present. Any program accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), as many of our programs are, requires its seniors to produce capstone projects.Below is a list of the projects presented.

Professor Jonathan Hill speaks with University High-School Students as they view Electrical Engineering projects.
