Rodolfo “Rudy” Chavez received his Computer Engineering in 2009 from Marquette University. He has always felt a strong tie to the health care industry, having grown up in a family of medical professionals, but ultimately knew he wanted to work with technology. When the opportunity presented itself to do an internship with GE Healthcare, it seemed like the perfect way to synthesize his familiarity with health care and his interest in computer science. As a software engineer in the two-year GE Edison Engineering Development Program, Rudy is able to program technology and create products that make an impact.

Starting this fall, engineering professors from University of Louisville will teach two classes at Appliance Park to help GE engineers get their master’s degrees. GE worked with U of L to modify the existing Edison program, which will be extended from two to three years. Along with course work under U of L professors, students will write an appliance-related thesis. With GE paying for classes, students will have five rotations to different engineering jobs in the program. As part of the deal, U of L’s Research Foundation and GE have agreed to allow U of L engineering and physics faculty and GE engineers to collaborate on research projects, several of which are in development.

“Hi everyone, I’m Clinton Buie. I’m fairly new to Edison’s desk so I thought I would share a little background info about myself, my rotations in the Edison Engineering Development Program, and what’s happening in the world… all in one shot!”
