Students are always looking for information. Many of our students are trying to decide what part of ECE they are interested in pursuing. Others are curious about launching their own businesses. Some have questions about their desired research or designs. Mentors can play a pivotal role in equipping students with the information they seek. Alumni have navigated the engineering world and can use that experience to help our students best prepare for life after graduation.
