"I think the best part of the ELDP is the people you meet and the friends you make through the program. When you're new to the area, it's a huge benefit that the ELDP provides so many opportunities to meet new people and make connections. The people in the program are great too; everyone is smart, outgoing and fun to be around."

“I’m excited to go to work in the morning. When I’m driving to work, I often think about the challenges and obstacles I’m going to face that particular day. Work at BAE Systems has given me the opportunity to be part of a team working on innovative software for sophisticated test stands. In my spare time, away from my larger teams projects, I have been granted the opportunity to develop software projects on my own. The ELDP is more than just an academic experience for me. It is about friends and people you can count on. It is about networking an making new connections. Most importantly, the ELDP is about succeeding in the workplace.”

“One of my rotations involved living in California for the summer supporting flight testing of unmanned aircraft at Edwards Airforce Base. During the week I would work with the U.S. Airforce, Northrup Grumman and Raytheon to ensure all systems were functioning properly and ready for the upcoming flights.”
