“Electrical engineering is understanding
your systems and your signals and finding
the best way to improve on them”
“It’s very hardware so it is hands on
so I see what is going on but it is also relatable
to the life around us”
“Whether it be the power systems in your
neighborhood or maybe just the signal systems
for your phone, electrical engineering really
is everywhere.”

“I came and I toured Syracuse, I loved it
I thought it was really exciting, it was a
fun place to go and it was during the engineering
open house.
I walked through the life sciences atrium
and was just blown away.
Because there were all of these people that
had produced something, there were inventors.
They had come up with an idea and sat down
and produced a product.
And there were all sorts of crazy projects”
“I saw that and I immediately knew that
is what I wanted to do.
I wanted to be able to come to a school and
produce things, build things, be an inventor
and I think that electrical engineering and
computer engineering are uniquely qualified
to enable you do that – to let you take
your ideas and create them”
“You have a lot of resources too.
In our lab, you have all this opportunity,
all this technology you can use”
“I really wanted the small class sizes and
SU really gives you that in our college of
engineering is pretty small and our class
sizes are really small, you have a really
good professor to student ratio but you also
have that big community in SU in the whole,
they give you the best of both worlds in that
aspect”
“Just being able to interact with other
students outside the engineering community
has been great and really like a well rounded
college experience”
“My sophomore year of high school I started
rowing, I don’t think a lot of other places
I would be able to succeed at an academic
and athletic level because here my teachers
are so supportive”
“I also knew that I wanted to do research
and that ended up working out too but I knew
Syracuse was a really great research university”
“And to be part of this, try to make a paradigm
change in how people run the wireless system
– that is very cool and I hope the students
will enjoy it”
“This school fosters a really unique comradery
between all the people that go here”
“Just working together you kind of form
a special bond that other people just won’t
understand outside your major.
I think it is kind of empowering just to have
that around you”
“There is always that chance to be included
in something, to be part of something bigger
than yourself.”
“We have a lot of other opportunities with
finding jobs because our university has a
lots of alumni, lot of people work in different
locations.
A lot of people in New York City, a lot of
people all over the country, a lot of people
all over the world”
“I worked at General Electric for eleven
years and I’m very fortunate to have had
three products with my designs go out the
door at GE.
I am convinced that if I had gone just about
any place else, I would not have enjoyed the
degree of professional success that I enjoy
because of coming to Syracuse”
“It is an experience that is like no other.
Especially with people who are friends and
try ti help you throughout every step”
