The College of Engineering honored graduate students, faculty, and staff that have helped shape graduate programs and research at a banquet on April 30. The event include the announcement of awards from the research open house and a performance by Wave Drift, a band made up primarily of mechanical engineering faculty.
There were poster award categories for graduate and undergraduate students in each academic department as well as a people's choice award category.
