Alumni Testimonials
“The joint structure gave me a rare dual perspective — the strong electronics design culture at HDU and the research-driven, international environment at CUT. I now work as an RFIC designer and the program’s bilingual training was a key differentiator.” — Alumna, Class of 2024, RFIC Design Engineer
“Spending Year 2 at CUT’s SPS-Lab completely changed my career trajectory. I moved from general electronics into smart-grid research and started a PhD in power systems immediately after graduation.” — Alumnus, Class of 2024, PhD Researcher in Power Systems
“The program’s combination of photonics and signal processing courses is unique. I landed an R&D role in optical sensing thanks to the projects I delivered during the thesis.” — Alumna, Class of 2023, Photonics R&D Engineer
