ECE Engineering Design Team Blog now on Google! - Access to the group on the web (http://groups.google.com/group/jhu-ece-engineering-teams) requires a Google Account. If you don't have a Google Account set up yet, you'll first need to create an account before you can access the group. Here is the group's description:

• The Department will sponsor up to 5 ECE engineering teams.
• Teams will consist of at least 2 freshmen, 2 sophomores, 2 juniors, 2 seniors, up to 10 students.
• Each team will choose their project and a team leader.
• The team will participate in national competitions.
• Team will be required to provide a white paper (~5 pages) to the department by November 1.
• ECE department will provide funds to make the project comparative.

Objective (Preliminary): We are looking for multi-year, comprehensive projects that can enhance the educational experience to all undergraduates. Based on the strength of the teams and the white papers, the teams will be selected and the selected teams will be allowed to register for a new course called ECE Engineering Team. 1st and 2nd year students will receive 1 credit per semester. For 3rd and 4th year students, this will count as a senior design project and will received up to 6 credit hours toward the advanced lab credit. No student can received more than 12 credit hours total from the ECE engineering team course.
