City Tech students take first place in international design competition
This spring, City Tech students Eugene Babkin, Bijan Mokhtari and Angjelo Kuka won first place in the regional Digilent Design competition hosted by City Tech. With that win they earned the opportunity to compete in the Digilent Design Worldwide Contest in Shanghai, China, where they again took first place against strong international competition last month.
The City Tech team competed against 12 teams: six from China, one from Japan, two from Romania, one from Hungary, and one other team from the United States—the U.S. Air Force Academy, which had finished second in the U.S. competition.
The Digilent Design Contest is an international hardware design competition open to students who are passionate about electronics, digital design and electrical engineering in general. The contest provides an opportunity for students to present their work and receive feedback from international industry representatives. At the same time, students improve their skills and face new challenges in developing projects using the latest technologies.
