Pursuing MS in Electrical Engineering
Stanford University
Stanford, California

My ECE/WECE position was one of my best experiences at Georgia Tech and it has come a long way in helping me out with my job and grad school applications. Being a part of WECE allowed me to meet Alumni in Industry, fellow students in ECE, and network with professors from the ECE department. Through these interactions, I was able to better understand my own goals and define the best ways to achieve them. WECE also provided me a way to interact with other Women in ECE and I am still in touch with some of them. It was a great organization for meeting all the fellow female students and adding a splash of pink to the normally very grey social life at Georgia Tech!

Electrical Engineer
Rincon Research Corporation
Tuscon, Arizona

Georgia Tech's ECE program has some of the best signal processing professors in the world and the things I learned from them have helped me out with the signal processing problems and tasks that I have faced since graduation. My experience as one of the co-founders of WECE has helped me out in my new post-graduation roles as an officer in both the Tucson professional section of the Society of Women Engineers and in the Arizona Georgia Tech Club.

Operations Excellence Engineer
Eaton Corporation- Electrical Division
Asheville, North Carolina

The women who walk the halls of Van Leer are incredibly diverse in backgrounds, tastes, and motivations for pursuing their chosen fields. I learned most from them how to listen without filters, to be patient and persistent, and that communication is about much more than what comes out of your mouth.

Kathryn Thomas

ECE at Tech is challenging and covers many topics. Having a strong ECE foundation has allowed me to be a more versatile engineer.

Amy Vaduthalakuzhy
Webmaster 2005 - 2007
BS in Electrical Engineering, 2007
Associate Staff
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab
Laurel, Maryland

The most important thing I learned at Georgia Tech was how to learn. How to break down a problem, how to find resources to help, and the persistence to keep at it - these are all skills I use everyday at work. The challenging ECE curriculum and the professors definitely played a big role in reinforcing these skills!
