Testimonials from ETM Students:

Kusha Janati

Kusha Janati is pursing an internship led by Dr. Yong -In Shin working on productivity issues and IT expenditures for Intel. The goal is to develop a decision support system to assist IT managers in their budget allocation efforts.

Literature search and cataloging skills that he developed while completing ETM coursework have helped tremendously. His familiarity with management science tools for productivity; cost/benefit analysis and decision making have been critical to his successful project contributions.

"I cannot think of a better way for ETM students to have an opportunity to gain industry experience than interning at a local company."
