Electrical Engineering Sponsors 4 ROTC Cadets

Earlier this summer four ROTC cadets from various universities across the country have worked in the EECS Department. The cadets have departed and returned to their respective universities and ROTC detachments. They came to West Point as part of Cadet Command’s summer intern program. During their stay at USMA, the ROTC cadets, who are majoring in disciplines taught in the EECS Department, were given the opportunity to work on several hands-on projects. Specifically, they studied under the direction of LTC Lowrance, the Acting Robotics Lab Director, and were given several practical problems related to controlling the behavior of robotic systems using sensors and microcontrollers. Prior to their internship, none of the cadets have been exposed to the field of robotics. Overall, it was a great learning experience for the cadets who benefited from the academic projects, as well as the interaction with our superb faculty within the EECS Department.
