Abshire, Horiuchi advise MERIT Fair winners

William Eisenhower from the University of Delaware and Scott McMichael from Case Western Reserve University won second place in the Research Internship in Telecommunications (RITE) category at the Maryland Engineering Research Internship Teams (MERIT) Fair. The pair spent the summer working with Assistant Professor Pamela Abshire (ECE/ISR) and Associate Professor Timothy Horiuchi (ECE/ISR) on "Biometrics and Robot Control."

MERIT is an 11-week summer program that offers top undergraduate engineering students from around the country the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge, team-based, cross-disciplinary research projects at the University of Maryland. The MERIT Fair in August marks the culmination of the students' research efforts, rewarding the best undergraduate student research projects.
