"The Eastern Illinois University Engineering Technology department was a big part of my college development. I was able to lock down a job with a Fortune 500 company before I even walked across the stage to receive my diploma because of my background in AET. I since have held 4 different roles in the company, some very closely linked to engineering and the practices I learned in many of the hands on classes that I took, others were linked to leading people and working together and I gained these experiences with my classmates and professors.
