Alumni Stories

What our 50,000+ alumni say

Engineers from Mercedes-Benz, Cummins, Infineon, GM, Hydro One, John Deere and more.

The hardware-first approach made all the difference. Came in from a generalist electronics background; the BMS and motor-drive modules gave me concrete vocabulary I could carry into Infineon interviews.

Souvik Hazra
Souvik Hazra
Senior Manager · Infineon Technologies

Industry-grade depth without the academic ivory tower. The MATLAB Simulink + capstone defence prepared me for exactly the kind of cross-functional EV problems we solve at Cummins.

Sharad Yeola
