Student Comments about Masters Degree from PSU
BH Large Telecom Company
Training is critical to completing job assignments, but "we don't know what we don't know.“
DS Large Consulting Company in Wash DC
Masters helped distinguish me with new skills that will make me relevant in my field.
TN Consulting Company in Wash DC
My education helped me succeed in a new position for a high risk, high visibility program.
FH Large Foreign Petroleum Company
OJT provide s me with about 70% of the knowledge , but I need more to effectively serve our
company.
PM Very Large IC Company in an Operations Role
My role at Intel has changed 4 times since I started the program.
BB Very Large IC Company in an Operations Role
Systems are part of everything, from an entire factory to System-on-a-Chip (SoC).
Neil Chung, P.E. | SAIC | Chief Systems Engineer
Promoted Chief systems engineer for the Defense & Homeland Solutions operation,
approximately 2,000 employees - Assistant vice president for Science & Technology
My education is used every day in any one of many roles:
- Systems architect (my primary project role)
- Requirements manager (my secondary project role)
- Lots of business development since I can convey big picture systems concepts to
customers
- Understand how to deliver the project, from start to finish, prior to starting it
- Mentoring developing engineers
SAIC’s in-house S.E. program primarily focuses on requirements management.
Expert systems engineers typically teach fellow engineers who are working on the
same project with them.
E-Portfolio updated and accessible, used for professional references.
