An approach to increase graduate school enrollment in engineering

Abstract

In order to encourage prospective students to consider graduate school, some senior undergraduate lab projects have been designed to give the student an introduction to the type of projects available to the electrical engineering graduate. Projects in the areas of pulsed power, image processing, neural networks, optical computing, and plasma research are available. Special lab projects provide the student with the opportunity to become acquainted with the faculty advisor and possible thesis topics. These lab projects provide the student with a better understanding of the available career options. Three projects are described and the objectives of each is discussed.<>
