This page contains information about all companies
who have donated
materials for 18-545. Significant donations from these companies make
18-545 possible. This is an expensive course to run because it is
taught with cutting-edge equipment. Students are able to fully utilize
all they have learned in Electrical and Computer Engineering classes in
their 18-545 projects, and thanks to the companies listed here, they
can do it with industry standard, full-featured software and
components. Students are well prepared to enter industry when they
graduate from the ECE program, and exposure to high quality products
significantly enhances their designs and their skills.
Speaking for Carnegie Mellon's ECE department, the 18-545
course staff and this year's 18-545 students, we say Thank
you!.
If your company is interested in donating equipment similar
to what is listed here for use in future courses, please contact Dr. Benjamin Levine.
