| Colleen Budd is from Farmington, MI. She first learned about electrical engineering during a high school summer camp led by Women in Science and Engineering (WISE). Her favorite EECS course as of her Junior year was EECS 215: Introduction to Electronic Circuits. Some of her advice: "Don't be afraid to try new things, think outside the box, and persevere." She says "as an electrical engineer, I have opportunities to go into pretty much any field and do anything I want in the future." Her advice to new students is to get involved, meet new people, and start networking." |
