Hear from our Alumni
The courses focused on synthesizing information and systems, which has already been invaluable in my current position. I believe that combining of multiple views, interpretations, design considerations, etc., is critical for solving global issues. I look forward to applying what I’ve learned as I begin work in the clean energy sector.
-Thomas Edward Blackwood, Graduate, May 2023
I am an applications engineer at Baker Hughes and I believe this degree will help me stand out among my work colleagues and more doors will open for me. The professors and TAs have been very helpful. It has been a stressful two years, but the amount of knowledge and achievements already made it so worth it!
