Seniors work in teams on Capstone Design projects in a wide range of areas including sensor, control, and DSP systems; communications, including wireless communication systems, communication system design and computer networks; software engineering; robotics; virtual reality and circuit and microelectronic systems.
Students who participate in the Co-op Program earn academic credit and a salary but, more importantly, gain valuable technical and business experience and make valuable networking connections at companies that have included Blackrock, among others.
Many students also do summer internships at leading technology companies including Siemens, L3Harris, Johnson & Johnson, and Verizon Wireless. Many of these students are offered full-time positions after graduation.
Rutgers’ dynamic electrical and computer engineering program is noted for up-to-the minute coursework and research opportunities in world-class labs in fields ranging from cloud computing, robotics, and digital signal processing to virtual reality and nanotechnology.
Guided by an award-winning faculty, students can engage in groundbreaking research in areas ranging from cloud computing to nanotechnology to biorobotics. Students also have the opportunity to do research with faculty in areas such as wireless information networks, computer vision, digital signal processing, and digital logic design, microelectronics, and computer architecture.
Senior Capstone Design is a culminating experience of electrical and computer engineering undergraduate education, integrating knowledge from all previous courses. Working in teams, the students incorporate technical knowledge along with economic, environmental, social, ethical, safety, and health.
The Senior Capstone Design Expo is both a platform to showcase team projects to faculty, staff, alumni, family and friends and to celebrate achievement and success.
Electrical and Computer Engineering offers many student specific organizations to make connections and have fun.

The server is a useful resource for all ECE undergraduate and graduate students. The intent is for students to easily discuss and assist each other with classes but also have a spot to share memes, interact with your fellow ECE peers, ask for advising and resources, etc.
A paper was just published based on the 2024 Capstone project titled "Radar-Based Vital Sign Monitoring with Automated Beam Steering". Capstone team S24-48 consisting of Daniel Gore, Daniel Petronchak, Felipe Valencia, Gavin Young, Nithish Warren, led by their advisor Prof. Athina Petropulu, developed a remote sensing using radar for vital sign monitoring of newborn infants.

We had a very successful ECE Capstone EXPO yesterday with 53 teams presenting their capstone projects. A panel of 45 judges from industry and academia joined us to select the top projects. In addition, three award in the categories of best in research, best in impact and best in commercialization were given and the three teams with the highest combined score in these categories were awarded the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Galbiati Entrepreneurial Awards.

Michael Schleppy, a PhD student in Distinguished Professor Emina Soljanin's group, was offered an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. The award is highly prestigious, and this year, it was even more competitive because of the steep cuts in the NSF GRFP budget.
