Power Electronics lecture—right up my alley. All about power transformers and how to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

For Giselle, WPI was a revelation. “As STEM women, we’re in our element here,” she says. “Not only are women a huge presence on campus, WPI hosts a seminar series that brings in successful women from STEM fields to network and talk about career-launching skills.” Giselle views her recent Interactive Qualifying Project(IQP) as career-boosting, too. “We were helping the World Wildlife Fund develop strategies to minimize the impact that ferries and fishing boats have on the white dolphin habitat in Hong Kong harbor. This hands-on, real-world experience gives us a clear edge in industry and research.”
