But I’m Not An Engineer!

In this episode we touch on a topic that Quinn can't seem to wrap her head around: Quantum Mechanics. ECE Professor Todd Brun helps make sense of it all. 

In the second half of this episode, Quinn and Ben sat down to chat about our impressions of the ECE department as non-engineers and what makes it such a special program. 

In part one of this episode, Quinn spoke with ECE communications manager, Ben Paul. Ben has been working in the department for over six years. Get this, he isn't an engineer either. These two non-engineers sat down to talk about some of the non-technical things that help make good engineers. 

Diane Demetras, The Director of Student Services, has been a familiar face around the halls of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department since 1984. In this episode, she talks about how her job has evolved through the years and what students need to know to succeed in the program.

In this episode, Quinn sat down with Harry Wang and Jason Yik, two recent graduates out of the electrical and computer engineering department. Harry and Jason discuss how they first got introduced to the program, research opportunities within ECE, and what the future looks like for these two friends.     

In this episode, Quinn and her boss, Ben Paul, sat down with Radhika Bhuckory, a senior in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Radhika talked about her experience at Viterbi, and how she was able to find her path within the ECE department.

In this episode, Quinn spoke with ECE alumni Roxanna Pakkar about how she found the inspiration to study engineering, as well as the need for women and girls in STEM. She now works as an  Embedded Control Systems Engineer at The Aerospace Corporation, which is federally funded space research center.

In this episode, Quinn spoke with USC alumni Yutong Gu, who earned both his bachelors and masters degrees in electrical and computer engineering . He now works as a firmware engineer for a company called Zoox, which specializes in fully autonomous vehicles. 

In this weeks episode, Quinn spoke with professor Maryam Shanechi, a ECE professor who specializes in neurotechnologies designed to help treat people with mental or neurological issues. She helps break down the connection between mental health and engineering.

In this episode, Quinn spoke with Bhaskar Krishnamachari, a professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering-Systems and Computer Science. He helps break down how systematic thinking relates to engineering and understanding the critical role that electrical and computer engineering plays in the Internet of Things.
