Dan and Jean Eddleman: Turning Roadblocks Into Stepping Stones

Dan, a Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering alumnus, and Jean, a Department of Biological Sciences alumna, want to ‘pay it forward.’ The couple’s generous three-part planned gift to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative and the Division of Academic and Student Affairs will help support NC State students for years to come.

The Game is Afoot: ECE Students Win Day of Giving 2026 Dean’s Hide-and-Seek Challenge

Neil Sood, spring 2026 graduate in electrical engineering and computer engineering (and current graduate student), and Madeline Wall, a fourth-year student double majoring in electrical engineering and computer engineering, put their hide-and-seek skills to the test during this year’s Day of Giving; the two successfully found former College of Engineering Dean and current NC State Provost, Jim Pfaendtner, earning $5,000 in research support for ECE Professor Eric Rotenberg.

Second Annual Green-G Conference Explores Intersections Between Biology and Engineering

At an interdisciplinary meeting held May 5-6, NC State researchers from several different departments discussed with invited guests how living systems sense, respond and communicate — and, in turn, how we can translate biological principles into practical concepts for next-generation telecommunications and data management systems.

NC State ECE students Neil Sood and Madeline Wall won the College of Engineering`s Day of Giving 2026 "Dean`s Hide-and-Seek Challenge," tracking down a life-size cutout of former dean (and now NC State Provost) Jim Pfaendtner on the fifth floor of Hunt Library.

The duo pieced together clues shared on the College`s Instagram stories and were first to find the hidden cutout, earning $5,000 in research support. Sood and Wall directed the prize toward ECE Professor Eric Rotenberg`s work on computer architecture and high-performance processors, a nod to his Microprocessor Architecture course, which both students took and loved.

It`s a fun reminder of how Day of Giving connects student initiative directly to research impact. 🕵️

NC State`s new hybrid M.S. in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors is preparing engineers for one of the fastest-growing corners of the chip industry, with its first cohort starting this fall.

The program covers silicon carbide and gallium nitride materials that handle higher power and heat than traditional silicon, skills now in demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and aerospace. Faculty and industry partners from companies like MACOM and Wolfspeed helped shape the curriculum around the roles employers are actually hiring for, from device design to power electronics.

It`s a clear example of NC State ECE building graduate programs directly around where the semiconductor industry is headed. ⚡

The technology powering electric vehicles, clean energy and aerospace was largely developed right here in North Carolina. NC State is where that work continues.

We`re launching the Master of Science in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors this fall, the first program of its kind, designed for engineers ready to lead in SiC, GaN and the systems they power.
Applications close June 25.
