Undergraduate ECE ambassadors

Represent our department

The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Ambassador program is a leadership opportunity for upper level ECE students to represent the department at various faculty and department run events.

Our ambassadors are active in the campus community, are knowledgeable about our undergraduate programs, and are enthusiastic about Electrical and Computer Engineering. They keep the ECE department connected by providing a point of contact for students in the campus community and by providing essential information to prospective students about our program and campus life.

See our Ambassadors at the Fall Preview Days, Engineering 1 Information Fair, ECE Information Night, and May@Mac.

See the Apply to be an Ambassador section below for more details.

Attiya Zaheer

I chose Electrical Engineering because I have always wanted to understand how systems can work together and how to make them better. I enjoy the balance of theory and hands-on work, and I love that ECE connects to so many different fields, from communication and signal processing to aerospace and renewable energy. What excites me most is how broad the discipline is and how it allows me to constantly learn and apply new ideas.
Aurora Boone

Hi! I'm Aurora (she/her), and I love ECE because I love to solve problems. The ECE program allows me to learn about solving problems both big and small (figuratively and literally!). I also enjoy incorporating my experience as a student athlete and my arts education into my engineering approach.
Avrick Gibson

I love the ECE department because it connects so many of my interests. I am particularly interested in signal processing, autonomous embedded systems, clean energy, electronics recycling/repair/design, and audio hardware. ECE gives me the tools to explore all of these areas, both in theory and in hands-on practice.
Fatima Atiq

What drew me to ECE is the constant interplay between software and hardware. You’re never boxed into just writing code or just wiring circuits, you experience both sides directly. That dynamic makes every project a puzzle that demands real problem-solving, especially in a field that's evolving as fast as this one.
Helen Elraheb

Hi! My name is Helen. I’m a third-year Electrical Engineering and Management student at McMaster. I’m involved in the engineering community through co-op, the McMaster EcoCAR team, and more. I’m happy to share my experience and answer any questions about courses, getting involved on campus, or student life at McMaster. Feel free to reach out!
Inemesit Usoro-Udo

ECE felt like an obvious choice for me when it came time to pick a stream, since I've always enjoyed exploring how the software and hardware sides of a system work together. I simply like that you can trace something all the way down, from the code you write to the circuit that actually carries it out. That's the part I find most rewarding, and it's a big reason I've stuck with it.
Ioannis Papaspyridis

Hello! I am Ioannis and I am currently in my 5th year of electrical engineering. Since high-school, I have been intrigued by the invisible, yet tangible effect that electricity has on the world around us. Coming to McMaster I was hoping to learn more about harnessing this power, but I was unsure if I wanted to pursue a degree in ECE. By joining technical clubs and speaking to upper years, I realized the great potential that ECE held. In addition to the excellent career opportunities and the plethora of extracurricular clubs associated with ECE, I was particularly drawn to the high degree of flexibility that the stream offers in areas of specialization through upper year electives. Through ECE, I was confident that I could find what I am truly passionate about.
Maria Loucaides

As a third-year Electrical Engineering student, I have really enjoyed being part of the ECE Department and getting to experience everything it has to offer. The ECE Department has a really great community and lots of opportunities to learn and get involved. There’s always something exciting happening, whether it’s exploring new areas of engineering, taking part in department events, or joining one of the many technical teams. It is an amazing place to meet people with similar interests, explore different areas of ECE, and learn from both professors and other students.
Sonia Parekh

Level 4, Electrical and Biomedical Engineering. I chose Electrical and Computer Engineering because it provides hands-on practical skills that can be applied to developing innovative healthcare solutions. As part of IBioMed, the electrical stream aligns with my interest in bridging engineering and medicine. What makes the program even more rewarding is the ECE community, which is filled with supportive, knowledge driven individuals who are committed to helping one another succeed
Vivian Nguyen

I love ECE because it brings together so many different areas of engineering. I get to work with both hardware and software, which means there’s always something new to learn and a new problem to solve. What I love most is being able to take an idea, build it, debug it, and actually see it come to life. ECE has given me the chance to explore everything from embedded systems and circuits to programming and digital design, and I love how creative and hands-on the field can be!
Yonathan Berhane

I love electrical engineering because it unlocks endless possibilities for innovation and creativity. It gives me the foundational knowledge and freedom to transform the ideas in my head into reality.

Role of the Ambassador

Promote and represent the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at on-campus recruitment events.
Respond to student and family queries during recruitment events.
Participate in on-campus tours for University/department events (e.g., Bring Your Child to Work Day).
Meet with the Undergraduate Administrative Assistant and provide input for the ECE website and social media accounts.

Apply to be an Ambassador

This volunteer appointment will run for the 2026-2027 Academic Year (Sept-April) with one more event in May – May@Mac. Ambassadors must be available during this time period and not on co-op.

Application Form

The deadline for submitting the application form is June 30, 2026.
