Hey Hokies! Today we're chatting with veteran Dr. Michael Sherburne, RF (radio frequency) and Microwave Design Engineer at the The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. His extensive education in electrical engineering includes

• a bachelor's from Virginia Tech;
• a master's from the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology; and
• a Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico.

In this episode, Megan and Niki talk colloidal quantum dots (!), the interdisciplinary nature of electrical engineering, and being an inventor in the United States Air Force.

Fun fact: Michael was the College of Engineering's 2018 Outstanding Senior!

Hey Hokies! Let's get research-ical with today's guest, Dr. André Stevenson, Jr., a secondary market research analyst for W.L. Gore & Associates. André has a master’s of engineering and Ph.D. both in materials science and engineering from Virginia Tech, and has a significant background in biomedical engineering, bio-nanotechnology and materials science and engineering.

In this episode, our hosts Niki and Megan chat engineering in and out of the lab; how undergraduate research can teach you how to think, rather than what to think; and that one Google search can charge the entire course of your life.

André's best advice? Don't let your major or engineering discipline limit your thinking! Go big, and go for it!

Oh, and shoutout to André's Virginia Tech advisor, Abby Whittington!

Hey Hokie! Experience global engineering with today's guest: Molly Boal, an Engineering and Technical Manager at SGA Technologies Limited in the United Kingdom. Molly has her bachelor’s in chemical engineering from Virginia Tech, participated in study abroad at the Technical University of Denmark and conducted undergraduate research for microfluidic electroporation for gene and cell delivery (say that 10 times fast).

In this episode, our hosts Megan and Niki chat finding your niche in an engineering field; studying abroad in Denmark (Så spændende!); and the value of participating in a year-long co-op. After Molly's co-op experience, she achieved a 4.0 in her classes, sOoO we think the co-op idea is selling itself.
