"I thoroughly enjoyed each of the classes I had with Professor Ngac. He brings his personal experiences into each lecture, which helps paint a better picture of the professional environment. I wish I could have taken more classes with Professor Ngac, I truly believe his classes have set me up for success in my career. "

In the world of COVID 19, a lot of internships were cancelled during the summer before graduation. Luckily, AT&T offered an online externship which Dylan was able to take part in. There, he learned about the communications industry and how they plan to utilize 5G solutions. It was an interesting experience primarily because you typically hear about 5G but never really dive into what it really is or does.

Dylan accepted a position with SAS as a Technical Consultant.

Dylan's main goal is to attain a law degree, where he can combine his knowledge of ISOM and better understand the regulations (or lack there of) placed on the industry. Continued utilization of technology will call for increased regulation and he believes we need people that understand both.
