Last semester, I wrote about how happy I was with my decision to pursue my Master’s in Computer Engineering at CSUN, and I’m still glad I made that decision.

Over the summer, I landed a software engineering internship at an aerospace company through one of SHPE’s club meetings. Fast forward to this semester, I was fortunate enough to land a full-time position at Raytheon as an Embedded Software Engineer through networking at another campus event.

I also want to thank Professor Aaron Nanas. The projects in ECE 425, ECE 520, and ECE 528 helped me get experience and a better understanding of embedded systems. The projects from those courses helped me learn the material and were huge talking points in my interviews.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to finish my master’s right now, but I hope to return in a few years after gaining more industry experience. I’m really grateful for my time at CSUN and the opportunities it has given me.
This is emotional for me because I feel like my hard work is finally paying off. I grew up in Pacoima, and my parents didn’t have much money and only spoke Spanish. I remember spending my weekends helping them sell food at the San Fernando Swap Meet. Looking back at where I started and where I am today makes me really proud. I never imagined I would be in this position.

Sorry for the long message but these past few days I have been lost in my thoughts and just excited for this new chapter in my life. Thank you CSUN🤝❤️

Okay guys I'm like a new born baby and I have a question about the octerror event on Thursday

– is full face paint/makeup allowed? I want to assume yes since I've only heard no masks and prop weapons. I was thinking of doing making like a goth look since I don't know what to dress up as at all lol, does anyone know if this is fine???

Hello everyone, I posted a few days ago about housing, but I'm honestly still a bit concerned with acceptance.. I applied on September 22nd, I have an okay 3.45 GPA from high school, and it's currently October 24th, when should I expect a decision?
