Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2019
“My experience with the ECE MEng program has been wonderful. I have met so many people with different areas of interest. Similarly, I have also taken classes in areas other than my own focus area. This has really broadened my perspective of different applications in Power and Energy. Moreover, I have talked to faculty and students who are working on different research and I have had a chance to work with them as well. I believe the MEng program gives you this freedom to really try and test other focus areas and classes.”

Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
"I pursued the MEng in Mechanical Engineering because of the career path flexibility. The engineering and professional development at Illinois prepared me to execute daily action items at Boeing. I have had opportunities to work in labs, perform design analysis, and assist suppliers with their logistics. I would not have had these experiences without the MEng degree."
