Hitchcock Award

The Leon W. Hitchcock Award is presented to an outstanding junior in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering as selected by the faculty of that Department. This year Christopher Plumlee from Derry, New Hampshire received the award. Christopher currently has one of the top GPAs in the class of 1998. During the past year he has been a participant in the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in the ECE Department at UNH. His research has focused on the intelligent sensory-based control of an autonomous robot. Christopher is an active member of the UNH student chapter of the IEEE and holds the office of treasurer.

The funds for the award have been provided by alumni, faculty and friends of the Department in memory of Leon W. Hitchcock, a longtime Professor and Chairman of that Department. The amount of the award is determined by the interest generated by the fund over the past year. If you would like to contribute so that the award will continue to grow, please send your check to:
