Students Triumph at Design Day 2024
Numerous students contributed to award-winning projects at this year's Design Day.

The 2024 Craig M. Berge Design Day featured exemplary work from ECE students, resulting in big financial awards for their capstone projects.
“It’s about designing, prototyping, testing, failing, trying again, and leaning on your teammates. But ultimately, it’s about making the world a better place. I’m really proud of all our engineers, mentors and sponsors,” said David W. Hahn, Craig M. Berge Dean of the college, to open the award ceremony.
Team 24009 received the Raytheon Technologies Award for Best Overall Design for their Autonomous Multi-Legged Robot for Crop/Turf Management, which came with a $5,000 prize. ECE students Kory Pearson and Ziyan Wei contributed their expertise to the award-winning project.
