Around 5-6 years into my professional journey at ADI, a close friend who also happens to be a fellow Husky shared their incredibly positive experience with the Gordon Institute of Engineering Leadership (GIEL) at Northeastern University. This program, nestled within NEU’s College of Engineering (COE), bears the name of Bernard Gordon, a renowned figure celebrated for his contributions to medical technology and engineering. The GIEL was established to equip engineering students with the skills and insights necessary to excel as effective leaders in their respective fields.

My experience with the Graduate Certificate program in Engineering Leadership, which I undertook concurrently with my Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) degree at NEU, has profoundly reshaped my outlook and the way I engage with the dynamic worlds of engineering and business.
