Comments from YSI
“The design project is a win-win situation,
where the EE students take on a real-life
product development project, and YSI
benefits from the infusion of new ideas
presented by the students. As an
engineer, I find it very rewarding to see
the student teams progress with their
projects throughout their senior year, and
am always impressed with the end product.
Cedarville EE students, and their
instructors, are of a very high caliber.”
