Chaitanya Sindagi

Degree: BS Electrical Engineering 

Student organizations/extracurricular activities:  Illini Formula Electric

What's next for you after graduation?  Full-time employment

Favorite memory from your time in ECE:  Working on building an electric car with my fellow teammates for my RSO.

Favorite ECE class: ECE 397, it let me work on my own project which I learnt a lot from and got me a great job.

Future plans?  Keep building the fastest and coolest electric cars, planes, trucks, trains and more.

Special thanks/mention:  Greg Bennett from the ECE Machine shop for teaching me how to use a CNC mill.
Mike Philpott and Bruce Flachsbart from the MechSE department that believed in us were instrumental in helping Illini Formula Electric pursue the outlandish and ultimately successful projects we embarked on.
Andrew R Stillwell from ECE's Power Electronics that taught me a lot about power electronics which I'm ultimately spending my career on. 

Advice for future Illinois ECE students:  Participate in RSOs, that's what gets you friends and ultimately, a job. And if classes are not fun, you're in the wrong classes/major.
