Instructor Wilmer Arellano has been with FIU since 2004. He has been responsible for the organization of the Senior Design sequence, including: teaching Senior Design I, coordinating the students enrolled in Senior Design II, and making sure that ABET requirements for the Capstone Project are met successfully. Mr. Arellano introduced the concept of video reports at ECE based on his previous expertise in TV production. He coaches the Senior Design and Engineering Orientation students in these productions, resulting in high quality video clips of the student projects. These clips showcase the students' technical skills and enhance their communication abilities. Mr. Arellano works continuously on improving the Engineering Orientation course to provide the students with a close to real life engineering experience and keeping up to date with the latest technological advancements including robotic projects. Instructor Arellano conducts research on VANETs and in particular the Traffic Assignment Problem. He is a member of IEEE and holds a Florida professional engineer license.
