All throughout high school, I was really motivated to take the hardest courses and to really
expand my areas of interests and that happened to be within physics.
And using physics as a frontier, I became more and more interested in engineering and
after exploring colleges with really great engineering programs, I found that Binghamton was
a good fit. The bachelor's program prepared me incredibly
well for both industry and the PhD program. I had several job offers leaving my bachelor's
degree and it was actually hard to turn down some, but I ended up sticking for graduate
because I liked what I was doing so much and everything was going so well here.
If you take PhD or master's program here, you can have your own interests in the research field.
So you can decide what kind of field you want
to learn and want to research on. So, you can do your research based on your passion.
So the core curriculum is really interesting. It blends engineering as well as some of the
liberal arts like business and entrepreneurship. So it's a great combination for going into
the workforce after school.
Not really sure yet what I want to do. There's so many different fields in computer engineering that I like and I think that's one of the
nice things about Binghamton. There's so many different classes offered here and so many
different areas of research that the professors are doing that you don't really necessarily
have to know while you're an undergrad. You can come out with a bachelor's degree
and be able to apply to all different types of fields.
Before I even came to orientation, I had done a bit of research about all the opportunities
Binghamton offers to its students and one of those was amazing research programs that
it has for students of any age. What I came to find is that lots of professors
are willing to work with me even though I was a young student.
The labs are absolutely first rate. We've been building several new labs inside the
Engineering and Science Building, both on the main campus and here at ITC.
Lots of my friends who are studying at other universities only have the chance to only
work inside the lab, but I can get a real work experience. I can work outside.
The Universal Health Services hospital is a long term partner with the Watson Institute.
I am working as a research associate to improve their performance.
Also, the class sizes are very small which gives you a lot of interaction with the professors and TAs.
The department seems like a really communal group.
I would say, definitely come to visit the campus
and talk to us about our research because it's very interesting and there's a lot of
great work going on here so check it out.
