If every road was straight and the weather always sunny and warm, self-driving—or autonomous—vehicles would have little trouble getting from point A to point B.

A Minnesota couple known for helping students cultivate an interest in math and science has committed $750,000 to support graduate students in electrical and computer engineering at Michigan State University.

Spartan Engineers from Michigan State University sounded the channel and won the "foxhunt" at the 2018 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium Student Design Competition at 2018 AP-S in Boston, July 8-13.

Two Spartan Engineers have been awarded a highly selective scholarship under the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation Scholarship-for-Service Program (SMART). SMART was established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to support undergraduate and graduate students pursuing technical degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines.

ohn Verboncoeur of Michigan State University will receive the Richard F. Shea Distinguished Member Award from the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) during ceremonies in June. Only one award is presented internationally each year.

A Michigan State University electrical engineer is a national finalist in the concept challenge hosted by the U.S. Chief of Naval Research. Shanelle Foster, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, is supporting the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps of the future with her research on 3D printing of magnetic cores used in electrical motors.

Jeffrey A. Nanzer of the Michigan State University College of Engineering will use a five-year, $500,000 National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award to develop dynamic antenna arrays for radar and remote sensing.
