Engineering Expo 2008

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

CapstoneThe OSU Engineering Expo, held in Kelly Engineering Center, gave this year’s graduating seniors a venue for showcasing their senior design projects, including the OSL’s capstone students Peter Sandin and Andrew Cunningham.

Both Peter and Andrew worked diligently to write a preliminary video chat application for the OLPC using the helix media player and helix server.

Child with OLPCWhile focused on senior design projects, the Engineering Expo also offers the College of Engineering and the general student population a chance to show industry representatives, high school students, and parents what interesting engineering innovations are happening at OSU.  The OSEL was there to represent Open Source at OSU by talking about the OSL, work with the One Laptop Per Child Project, OSU’s Linux computing facilities, and general Linux use in the College of Engineering.
