28 Can you share some of your professional goals and aspirations? My goals have remained to study electronics de- sign and troubleshooting techniques to be able to perform some of my tasks more eectively. A new goal of mine is to develop better interpersonal and leadership skills that will allow me to use my elec- tronics knowledge to train and teach others. I personally believe that studying electrical en- gineering technology and electrical engineering is really allowing my potential to shine. The deep hands-on learning from one and deep theory from the other is making it possible for me to understand and provide solutions for certain problems or ad- vances in technology. I really love the electrical side of engineering like electrical, electronics, and mechatronics. What is the most valuable thing you've learned in the past year? You can never learn enough in any sector of the electronics industry; it is ever-changing. Most im- portantly, I learned to be extremely grateful for all the learning opportunities that I received from IPC, Gwinnett, and other online resources. Having seen many workers try to come to this industry, there are many who have not learned the special bits of edu- cation that I have gained because I was hungry for education. If you have a strong will to learn, you can become so proficient at your tasks, and you'll find yourself feeling more fulfilled. What accomplishments are you most proud of? I am most proud of my success of advancing my professional and educational life simultaneously. I maintained a good GPA while also accomplishing great feats at work, like getting "Employee of the Year" within a short time working with my company. What do you love about the industry? To me, engineering is the application of multidis- ciplinary studies to create solutions to problems and advance in technology. I love the ability to cre- ate useful and specific applicable solutions to some everyday personal problems. You can accomplish much with just about any field of engineering, but I find electrical engineering more applicable and useful than most other engineering branches. $38,000 Amount IPCEF awarded in scholarships in 2021 $27,000 Amount awarded to IPC student members for their accomplishments in IPC Student Chapters $1,000 Amount of IPC Student Member Scholarship Academic Assiance: The IPC Student Chapt Leadship Awards are available exclusively to IPC Student Chapt leads aft sving a 12-month tm.
