Each student showcases their intensive design projects to a panel of adjudicators. Academic Leader for Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at UKZN, Dr Leigh Jarvis, says, “We are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to creative and innovative design. We have a history of doing well in this competition. This year, Mr Joshua Piggott will be representing us with his project titled ‘Digital Soldier Tactical Communications System”.

The project is a communications system that can reliably route messages and files through a dynamic communications network, designed for soldiers in the field.
