For the third consecutive year, a Missouri S&T team has placed in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Region 5 Student Electronic Circuit Design Competition. This year’s winning team members are electrical and computer engineering students Li Guan, a senior, and Nicholas O’Gorman, a junior. They won third place in the contest for designing and building a circuit during a timed event. Guan also participated on the winning team in 2016.
The competition was part of the annual conference of the IEEE Region 5, held in Denver on April 1. Region 5 includes Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and parts of surrounding states. Dr. Steve E. Watkins, professor of electrical and computer engineering, participated in the events as chair of the student ethics competition.
