ECE 201 students recently heard from three alumni whose careers have taken them across technology, banking, AI and entrepreneurship:

Natasha Lala (CompE 9T8), Chief Product Officer at EQ Bank
Paul Leventis (MEng ECE 0T8), VP, HR (AI Transformation) at Databricks
Anahita Panthaky (CompE 1T0), Founder of Unjammed

Moderated by Professor Deepa Kundur, ECE Chair, the panel explored career journeys, lessons learned and advice for students as they begin thinking about where their own ECE experience could take them.

Thank you to our alumni for returning to ECE and sharing their perspectives with the next generation of engineers!

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month 🔐

Good engineering isn’t only about building technology that works; it’s also about protecting the people who rely on it.

Cybersecurity plays a growing role in protecting the technologies and systems that shape our everyday lives. As technology continues to evolve, security is increasingly part of what it means to engineer responsibly.

At , the new Cybersecurity Certificate allows students to build knowledge in areas including cryptography, adversarial thinking, threat modelling, and network and systems security.
