Suggestions: UT's courses were excellent as a foundation in preparation for my job. The most valuable preparation is to complete an internship.

My career path in getting to this position:
I interviewed with several companies on campus through career services, but, due to the location or type of job offers I received, did not accept positions with those companies. I found out about the opening at GE through a friend who was an intern here at that time. I interviewed and started my job 2 months after graduation.

Other advice for students interested in gaining entry into and pursuing a career in this field:
Networking is worth your time and effort. Pursue one or more internships.
