More than 230 students enrolled in first-year engineering courses at Louisiana Tech University’s College of Engineering and Science competed in the College’s 2020 Freshman Design Expo online.
Students used their own labs, equipped with the Arduino microcontroller and various circuit components to build products that they found were missing from the market. Students were encouraged to source materials not included in their kits through online vendors. They filmed their projects and uploaded them to YouTube’s platform for the public to view.
“Our faculty, staff and students had to adjust and overcome many challenges related to the computer engineering careers pandemic which resulted in the transition to online courses,” Dr. Krystal Corbett, freshman engineering programs coordinator and lecturer of mechanical engineering, said. “For our freshman engineering courses, that transition tested and reinforced our philosophy of empowering students through student-owned labs within our renowned Living with the Lab curriculum.”
