Engineer in Residence Program
"The goal of (the program) is to open students' eyes to all
the different things you can do with your degree. It's a unique
treat to be able to share experiences and ideas with computer
science students in a relaxed atmosphere." - Ross Erlebacher '88
B.S. CS, '89 M.S. CS, '95 M.B.A. (Northwestern); President of
Ross Erlebacher and Associates; Engineer in Residence 2005
Our Engineer in Residence Program is designed to give our
students a window to the world of work through our accomplished
alumni, while also offering our guest engineers the rewards of direct
involvement with some of the most talented computer science
students in the country.
Alumni reside for a day or more with our students and
faculty - sharing their expertise to help students parlay their
Computer Science degrees into real world applications and
successful careers. Engineers in Residence can participate in
activities such as informal lunches with students to discuss issues relevant to CS careers; private office hours to meet with individual students; and computer science classes in their area of expertise.
If you would like to participate, please contact Safiya Novle
at snoble@uiuc.edu, or 217-265-6823.
