Dr. Cynthia Furse,
Electrical Engineering Professor, University of Utah
Engineering is creative, inventive, and challenging. Engineers have the power to change the
world. That is what we do every
day. Engineers keep people safer,
healthier, and happier (at least if you like your IPOD). When I was starting college, I was deciding
between being a doctor, a professional violist, or an engineer. I decided a doctor might impact 20 or 30
people a day, but an engineer can invent things that impact millions of
people every day. And I still play the
viola for fun. Some of the exciting
projects I have worked on (yes, invented J)
include making sure your cell phone is safe to use, inventing antennas that
can talk to medical implants like cardiac pacemakers and brain stimulators,
and finding faults on airplane wires while the plane is flying to prevent
crashes like TWA800. I love teaching
people to how to be engineers, and I hope that YOU will consider joining us
here at the University of Utah College of Engineering.
