If you walked through Davis Lobby the week before finals, you probably spotted a few of Dr. Joon Wan Kim’s Digital Electronics students hard at work on their final projects!
This semester, students were challenged to design and build a fully functioning elevator prototype using a BASYS 3 FPGA board and any additional materials they could find or create. From logic circuits to troubleshooting hardware, each team put their engineering skills to the test.
But this project was about more than just circuits—it showcased teamwork, creativity, delegation, and serious time management skills. Many late nights (and even a few all-nighters) later, the results were incredible!
You can now check out and test the elevator prototypes in the Engineering Building. Huge congratulations to every team for finishing the semester strong!
