🎉 Huge congratulations to the Beta Eta Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) @HKN_NCSU at NC State ECE for their incredible achievements at the HKN Student Leadership Conference (SLC) in Charlotte this past weekend! The chapter earned the prestigious "Key Chapter" award, as well as the award for sending the most students to the conference. They also clinched first place in the Keysight Foxhunt Event—an impressive demonstration of leadership and teamwork.

This annual conference brings together HKN students and advisors from chapters across the globe, offering a weekend of networking, career fairs, and professional development opportunities. With guidance from @assistcenter`s Elena Veety, our students continue to excel and lead in both technical and leadership skills.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the ECE Holiday Tree Lighting in EB2! 🎄✨ It was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season and celebrate with our amazing community.

🚀 Christina Koch, an alumna of NC State ECE, will be honored with the North Carolina Award for Science—the state`s highest civilian accolade—during a gala at the Raleigh Marriott City Center on November 14. Governor Roy Cooper will present this award, celebrating Koch’s groundbreaking work as a NASA astronaut.

Koch, who grew up in Jacksonville, NC, spent 328 days aboard the International Space Station, breaking records and advancing space exploration. She’s also an advocate for STEM education, often returning to NC State to inspire the next generation of engineers and explorers.

Koch’s upcoming mission? Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years, where she will make history as the first woman to travel to the lunar surface! 🌑 #NCState #ThinkECE #Artemis #NASA #SpaceExploration

🌟 Exciting news from our ECE Senior Design program! 🌟 In June, one of our Senior Design teams, consisting of Kellen Kloss, Crystal Goecke, and Luc Boswell, represented NC State at the Capstone Design Conference, a national event held every two years that showcases innovative student projects.

This year marked a significant milestone as the team was the fifth ECE group selected to participate since 2016. They not only showcased their project through a poster session, but they also engaged in "Student Voice" panels, helping to bring NC State ECE to the forefront of the conversation.

Check out some photos from the event to see their hard work and dedication on display! We`re proud of our students for making such a strong impact.
