How the CoETCS has prepared me to be Successful in my Career:
The CoETCS taught me skills beyond the core Engineering courses. This includes discipline, time management and relationship building which are very important for career growth.

The Importance of the TSU CoETCS Alumni Endowment:
I feel it is our duty to give back and pave the way for other young students who are striving to obtain a career in the technical field. It is also important to help place them on “equal footing” with their peers when they enter the workforce. We must make it a priority to help the CoETCS obtain the level of opportunity, equipment and resources that are present in other distinguished Universities.
