"So people ask me what kind of companies hire electrical computer engineers.
Basically, if you plug it in or it has a
battery in it, electrical engineers were
involved. Every Messiah engineering
student is guaranteed an internship with
an on-campus organization called The
Collaboratory. The Collaboratory's
business model is that it pairs student
teams with either faculty mentors or
outside professionals to work on systems
that either care for the earth or help
disadvantaged people around the world.
One of our more successful projects is a
project that involves facilitating use
of limited electric power called EMMS."
"So, I am the student project manager of
the EMMS team, and, so what that means is
that I head up a team of students and
industry volunteers who are developing a
system that makes it possible for
schools and medical clinics to be able
to efficiently share their limited solar
power resources. Just the faculty and
the way that they interact with the
students to help them grow is such a
powerful thing."
