“Engineering was a natural path to follow,” says Kayla Ho (B.S. ’17). “I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands, trying to figure out how things work, taking things apart, and putting them back together.” Her greatest interests lie in the areas of electricity and energy because, she explains, that’s how the modern-day world functions. “Without electricity, for the most part, nothing would work the way we want it to.”
After graduating from NYIT in 2017 with a B.S. in electrical and #computer #engineering and minors in mathematics and energy science, technology, and policy, Ho chose to pursue a master’s degree in electrical and computer engineering at NYIT, which she expects to complete in 2019. When she isn’t busy in class, she can be found at meetings with NYIT’s student branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
As co-chair, she liaises with regional IEEE officials and organizes training sessions, technical workshops, and professional development opportunities for other engineering students. “I’m naturally a very shy person, so taking on this role definitely helped me step out of my comfort zone and learn how to interact with professors, the dean, and different members of the administration, and more importantly, how to work with different students, how to adapt to their needs and help them grow as individuals,” she explains. “That, I think, is the most rewarding experience—being able to help my peers become as great as they can be.” #alumniprofile #nyit #nyitdidthat nyitsoecs
