Courses Worth Talking About

ECGR 3111: Signals & Systems
One of the most difficult but rewarding courses I have taken. It completely changed the way I think about systems, mathematics, and engineering.
ECGR 3101: Embedded Systems
A course that showed me how creativity and engineering come together through hardware and software design.
ECGR 3120: Electromagnetic Fields & Waves
An area of engineering I am especially excited to study further because of its connection to physics, communications, and advanced electronics.
