Virtual Open House
This year the director of undergraduate studies, Professor James Sturm, hosted two virtual open house sessions via video conference. Both sessions featured senior Joe Zhang and junior Trisha Madhavan, current electrical engineering concentrators, and Jean Bausmith, the undergraduate program coordinator, answering questions from curious first-year students. Below find video recordings of those two sessions.
