Student Research Week is an annual university event that allows students of all majors to showcase a particular project from their area of study. More than 700 students participated this year, including over 120 undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Students presented their research through several sessions throughout the week in the Pegasus Ballroom. The best presentations were recognized with awards. The CECS recipients are listed below:
