The MERIT
Fair was held on Friday, August 13, 1999, in the Grand Ballroom Lounge
of the Stamp Student Union at the University of Maryland. Students presented
their projects to a team of judges comprised of members from industry
and faculty from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.Pictures
from the fair are shown below. For more information about the 1999 MERIT
projects, please visit MRCP '99
and RITE Site '99 for the
projects in each program, respectively.
