Letter from the Editor

Abstract

Miami Engineering and Computing Review (MECR) is a student peer-review online journal focused on highlighting exceptional senior design teams and student accomplishments. Beginning in May 2012, MECR is the first student peer review journal produced by Miami Universities College of Engineering and Computing. MECR strives to strike a balance of conforming the senior design project papers into journalistic format while preserving both the differences among engineering disciplines and the reflective senior experience. To this end the articles include reflections written by senior design team members and the reference style has been adjusted to reflect modern footnote style. The editors for the 2012-13 papers consist of six senior engineers with the expectation of publishing in the fall of 2013. The goal was to include work from all departments. Hopefully MECR will continue to grow and highlight exceptional projects and students.
