Chen, Dr. C. F. Student Award for Design Excellence
The Dr. C. F. Chen Student Award for Design Excellence was established by Dr. C. F. Chen as an incentive award for electrical and computer engineering students at The University of Akron to excel in their senior design projects. A successful computer industry entrepreneur and former faculty member, Dr. Chen recognizes the value in encouraging students to not only acquire technical knowledge but to apply that knowledge in inventive ways. The award will fund a first prize of $1,000, a second prize of $500, and provide $1,000 for materials and supplies for students’ use in preparing their designs. Winners of the award will be selected by a panel of industry representative from a field of finalists identified by a committee of faculty from the Department of Electrical Engineering.
