7th Annual College of Engineering PhD Research Expo
Over 80 research posters were presented at the seventh annual College of Engineering PhD Research Expo, showing the remarkable work of engineering PhD students. Participants presented their research to a panel of judges and gained critical presentation and communication skills. They also displayed their research during the poster showcase and students were recognized with awards.
The expo began with a private showcase for faculty judges to learn more about each project. Students explained their research procedures and outcomes and fielded questions from the judges. The expo was then open for all to learn about the student research and speak with the PhD students exhibiting their posters.
Winners in the Judges Award and Audience Choice Award categories are as follows (listed alphabetically).
