ECE graduates have big plans
Posted:
More than 100 electrical and computer engineering undergraduate students will be among the 10,600 who will earn degrees – the largest spring quarter graduating class ever – during the final quarter commencement exercises at Ohio State on Sunday, June 10, 2012. Some ECE graduates will continue their education, while others will enter the workforce.
Gwyne Briggs, Dominic Labanowski, Robert Zupke, Tom Zajdel, Jessica Burk and Douglas Ellis are a few of these graduates.
By any measure, ECE undergraduate Dominic Labanowski is a stellar student and researcher. Since the end of his freshman year, Labanowski has been conducting research with Chris Hammel, professor of physics, in the field of spintronics. (read more of Labanowski’s story)
Gwynne Briggs graduated with a BS in electrical and computer engineering—the fourth member of her immediate family to do so. Following graduation, her next adventure will be to move to Stuttgart, Germany and work for M.C. Dean, Inc. (read more of Briggs’ story)
Robert Zupke’s passion for technology, especially consumer electronics and computers, began at an early age, “When I was younger my family was always telling me that I was going to become an engineer. This was mostly because I loved to take things apart to see how they worked from a very young age,” he says. “As I got older, I realized that there was really no other profession that would satisfy my passion for electronics, computers and technology.” (read more of Zupke’s story)
Tom Zajdel will earn a BS in electrical and computer engineering. Not one to sit on the sidelines, he served as a teaching assistant, tutored students, researched radio wave scattering at the ElectroScience Lab, and conducted perceptual experiments with cochlear implant patients.

After graduation Jessica Burk plans to work at GE Lighting in Cleveland and take part in the company’s leadership training program, but she is already a leader here at Ohio State. (read more of Burk’s story)
When 10,600 Ohio State students fill Ohio Stadium June 10, 2012 for the University’s final quarter commencement, Douglas Ellis is sure to stand out. Ellis will sport a 16 inch by 16 inch LED array on his graduation cap that he made and programmed with messages like OH – IO and EE@40. The array commemorates Ellis’ graduation with his first degree, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the age of 40. (read more of Ellis' story)
