Peter Hevrdejs

Degree: BS Electrical Engineering 

Student organizations/extracurricular activities:  Illini Contraband and Drone Club

What's next for you after graduation?  Getting my Masters in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Favorite memory from your time in ECE:  Messing around in the nanotech lab was a highlight of my time here. Always had been a goal of mine to get into the fab since freshman year. 

Favorite ECE class:  ECE 340 - Semiconductor Devices. While it may not be the easiest course in the curriculum, the material we learned in the class is so interesting. It lays the foundation on how all advanced electronics work. 

Future plans?  My goal after graduate school is to work at Neuralink where I can put my passion and skill toward creating devices that can assist those with disabilities. 

Special mention/thanks:  I would like to thank my friends and family for all of their support. Studying to be an Electrical Engineer is far from easy, but it is extremely rewarding in the end. 

Advice for future Illinois ECE students:  Studying is important, but don't forget to go outside every once in a while and have some fun!
