Micromouse Competition
Students seeking an electrical engineering degree may join the Suffolk chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the field’s premier professional organization. IEEE also hosts the annual Micromouse Competition, at which individual students and teams compete to build the robot that navigates a maze the fastest. Suffolk students have enjoyed great success at the regional finals of this nationwide contest.
Suffolk students also benefit by participating in the Technology and Science Initiative (TaSI). TaSI gives undergraduates the chance to undertake cutting-edge research projects with Suffolk professors and industrial professionals.
