Thao Nguyen: Learning the language of microcontrollers

With a nudge from her professors, she enrolled in the University of Maineâs Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program.
âI heard all good things about UMaine back when I was attending EMCC,â says Nguyen, who will graduate with a bachelorâs degree from UMaine in May. âAll my advisers and instructors recommended I continue my studies at UMaine. I took their suggestion and am so glad that I did. This was one of the best decisions of my life.â
