A look back at the APEX-DC Symposium!

On Sept. 22, Ohio State’s Center for High Performance Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CHPPE), in partnership with Vertiv, welcomed leaders from industry, academia, government and national laboratories to the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center for a symposium focused on power electronics for data centers.

The event brought together more than two dozen organizations for presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions on data center power needs, emerging technologies, future research and workforce development.

Thank you to our speakers, partners, attendees and student volunteers for helping make this event a success and for contributing to important conversations around the future of data center infrastructure.

Have you ever wondered how Electrical & Computer Engineering at Ohio State got its start?

The story begins in 1884, when Professor Thomas C. Mendenhall advocated for teaching applied electricity and brought two dynamo machines into the Physics Lab in University Hall. That same year, Ohio State offered its first course in electrical engineering.

Over the decades, the department grew from early electrical experiments to work in radio, communications, electronics, and space research. In 2004, the Department of Electrical Engineering officially became the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.

Swipe through for a look at some of the milestones that shaped ECE at Ohio State over the past 140+ years.

Meet Caroline, a fourth-year electrical and computer engineering major specializing in electrical engineering!

After taking ECE 2060, Caroline discovered how much she enjoys the hands-on side of electrical engineering. Since then, she's built lasting friendships through programs like Fundamentals of Engineering Honors and even by simply sitting with different people in class.

Outside of ECE, Caroline is a member of Dance Connection and was on the Scarlet Dance Team her sophomore year. She also teaches and choreographs dancers ages 7-18, and loves seeing her students grow and succeed. Through dance, she's met people from different majors who share her passion.

After graduation, Caroline plans to move to New York City and pursue professional dance opportunities. Her advice to fellow students? Be comfortable following your own path and pursuing the things you're passionate about.

Meet Owen, a fourth-year electrical and computer engineering major with an interest in electronics.

Owen is a member of Formula Buckeyes, working on the Electronics team as an Electronics Director and Electrical Systems Director. From electronics and power training to battery packs and wire harnesses, Owen integrates his team’s designs into the student organization’s finished vehicle each year.

“I’m very thankful that I joined because it taught me the most knowledge in concurrence with school,” said Owen. “It’s kind of an intro to how industry works.”

Outside of school, Owen’s summer internship as an EWIS intern at Anduril was extended into the school year. Working at Anduril’s corporate headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA over the summer, he designed autonomous systems on the Department of Defense team. One of his projects included planning wire harnesses for an autonomous fighter jet called “Fury.”

His advice for underclassmen: get involved!

“Taking that first step and actually joining student projects has made me a better engineer,” Owen said.
