Brooke's Three Favorite Things about the ECE Department:
1) My advisor
2) The professors
3) Fellow graduate students
Advice to Incoming Students:
Take your education into your own hands. Fulfill the requirements and follow the rules, but also seek out things that you want to learn. |

talks about ECE @ Maryland:
"After earning a BSEE at Rice University in Houston, TX, I attended the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, where I earned a Masters degree. I became interested in Maryland after I read some research papers by Professor Ephremides and was enthralled. I knew I wanted to do research under his guidance.
Now, I'm studying communication theory as it applies to wireless networks. I'm currently doing research on broadcast stability and throughput.
The professors here are leading some very top-notch research and it's a real pleasure to learn from them.
Also, I really like the other graduate students. My colleagues are very talented people from all over the world. I've learned so much from them—and not just about engineering.
I attend weekly seminars with a large group of students and professors, and the atmosphere is great: people are pretty relaxed but they know when to take work seriously.
I'm a member of Eta Kappa Nu, the EE Honors Society, and very involved with student groups on campus. I also like to travel when I get the chance.
