Per the invitation by the CVT Board I joined the ECE UT Design Expo judge panel for the fall December 12, 2025. It was amazing to check out what the inventions and designs young UG innovators from Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas have developed. Their projects, showcasing impressive creativity and technological solutions were presented to us and was judged. IEEE Dallas Circuits and Systems/Topology (CAS/Top) joint chapter (CVT) is doing a great role in support of the future of engineering and technology ingenuity.
