Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University

The newly formed IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society at Texas A&M University (MTT-S TAMU) recently led an operation to give discarded electrical equipment a second life! 🔌 Students can build their own microwave/radio frequency systems to either jump-start or expand their knowledge of microwave/RF engineering using the equipment. With the help from Texas A&M Amature Radio Club (W5AC), MTT-S TAMU collected incredible resources like stepper motors, various Arduino boards, a TI Launchpad, ferrite rings, and much more!

Beginning this fall, #TAMUecen will launch the ECE Junior Research Scholars Program! Offering undergraduate students an opportunity to engage in publishable research alongside faculty members, the program will utilize three credits of ECEN 491. Research will be conducted during the fall or spring semester of the student’s junior year. Scholars will collaborate in small teams (2-4 students) on targeted research topics, leveraging flexible, modular research testbeds developed in partnership with ECE industry collaborators. Requirements: • must have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 at the time of application and maintain it during the program • must be a full-time ELEN or CE student • must have completed ECEN 214 and 248 Don't forget to submit your spring applications by March 31st! Apply: u.tamu.edu/JRSP Have questions? Want to contribute to our students? Email Dr. Kevin Nowka at kjnowka@tamu.edu
