The UIUC's ECE program is one of the best in the nation; however, aside from the obvious academic reasons, I am also interested in renewable energy and I believe that UIUC is more focused on establishing a cleaner campus than other schools.

I think working on the different projects we make in class is always a fun experience. My favorite was definitely the radio in ECE 210.

My favorite part is learning how to find creative solutions to different problems. There are different ways to approach a problem and seeing the different ways to tackle them is always very cool. I think it also opens up our minds to see how we can improve the lives of others as we see different problems in the world.

I joined EA because I like teaching and helping others. I want to help others learn more about engineering and help them enjoy it as I do.

Find what you like to do. Even in a single major, there are many different specializations and things you can do. If you have a clear goal in mind and understand what you are working towards, classes become much more exciting and interesting.

In the short term I am planning on continuing my education and going to graduate school. In the long term, I hope to become a professor and do research in the field of power and sustainability.
