The Capstone experience, as told by a student

June 28, 2021 04:38 PM
Brendon Jensen, a senior in the Computer Engineering program, recently completed a Capstone project alongside his team that enabled tech company L3Harris Technologies to perform more targeted network testing in a shorter amount of time: a cheaper, smaller, and more portable network traffic generator and analyzer than they had been using before. Here’s what he learned from the two-semester process.

Electrical Engineering: A Pathway to New Forms of Creativity

April 12, 2021 01:58 PM
Electrical Engineering senior Keaton Shurilla pictures a future where he can roll up to the club and experience a 360-degree audio system - not through strategically-spaced speakers, but through speakers with the technological prowess to project sound everywhere in the room. In that imagined future, he wants someone across the world to tune in with a virtual reality system so sophisticated it feels like they’re in the club with him. He is combining his passions for technology and the arts to make that future more feasible.

ECEN Interviews: Jesse Richmond

March 04, 2021 01:43 PM
Meet Jesse Richmond! He’s a second-year Master’s student from Mount Pleasant, Utah emphasizing in electrical engineering. He works under Dr. Willie Harrison in joint source-channel coding research, looking at how to compress data and then protect it from transmission errors in one step. This well-rounded gentleman also helped BYU sweep the short story contest earlier this semester! He placed as a runner up in the short fiction category for a quirky, humorous story he wrote titled “Solomon’s Lines.” Take it away, Jesse!
