I'm always very proud to say that I'm a Carleton graduate. 
That's because we have very many, very famous professors in the field and also our graduates have
won numerous international awards and recognition. So our program is very strong and I am very proud to be here.
The great thing about the engineering community is that you're not
competing against students. Everybody
wants to help everybody else do their best.
What I notice when I talk to students who study at other universities is that 
they don't always 
have the same level of interaction that we have with our faculty
and staff. I think this is very helpful.
While studying at Carleton, you get to 
be involved in the research which is being organized all over the world.
In my Electronics 2 lab, we were learning in class 
about filters and oscillators and such. We ended up building them
from basic components that we saw in the
lab all the time. The applications of antennas
to transceivers is just the same as the application of antennas to, let's say,  
an ECG or EMG that's wireless.
So understanding how to build an antenna
that ideal, that works
perfectly for your machine 
is always applicable regardless of 
what [engineering] steam you're in, really.
A very interesting thing about fourth-year projects is we have option to choose our own.
We're taking robots that are brand new and trying to figure out how to get them to play soccer.
That means figuring out what they're physically capable of it. It also means exploring a little bit of artificial intelligence.
I chose Carleton because Carleton is the only university in Canada with a sustainable and renewable energy program. 
And that really interested me.
I can't see myself 
being anywhere else or doing anything
else right now. This is where I want to be.
