Meet MSTM Alumni
“With a mechanical engineering undergraduate degree and no full-time work experience, I came into the program with very little business knowledge. The program, professors, and students helped me develop strong business skills to prepare me for a career in consulting at EY.”
Rohan Thapar
MSTM '18
“This program opened doors for me. I not only improved my ability to manage other engineers, I had a lot of organizations reach out to me regarding product manager, program manager, and consulting roles. Having more options is always great and is something that this program has undeniably given me.”
Elijah Johnson
MSTM '19
"After working as an engineer in the manufacturing sector, learning the business side of technology was a logical step to move up in my career. Having access to Illinois’ top engineering school and robust startup space made the MSTM program a great fit for me."
