The inaugural 2018 Computer Science Undergraduate Project Showcase celebrated student inquiry in the field of computer science. Students presented posters on projects from mentored research, from class projects, as well as from independent work. The projects displayed represented students creatively applying skills and concepts from their studies in computer science. Twenty-two posters were featured at the event.
Check out our online album to see the day captured in pictures at our first ever CS Undergraduate Project Showcase.
