Success Stories

Every semester, some students rate how much they've learned from the courses taught so I decided to gather up their comments :

Hi Preet,How are you? I just want to share a good news with you that I got a job in Nvidia as a Embedded Engineer. You know what Preet 60-70% of questions in interview was from CMPE-146 class. All those bit shifting, volatile keyword, stack, task and whatever you taught in class. Thank you Preet for making our future bright. Thank you

Dr. Ozemek and Preet,

I wanted to personally thank both of you for giving me the opportunity to learn and be inspired from your experiences. The lessons I learned and the confidence I gained in CmpE 146 have continued to reward me in a variety of courses and areas of my life. I don't know when it happened but at some point after taking 146 my work transformed from "something I have to do for school" to "something I have to do for me."
In my last semester as an undergraduate student at SJSU, while taking some of the most challenging courses in the CmpE program, I earned my first 4.0 GPA. I had to let you know that I attribute a large part of my success to you. I will be forever grateful of your commitment to push me out of my comfort zone; and now I feel like I have developed a level of confidence where I can push myself to new heights.
To be clear, I did not graduate from SJSU. I will be returning in the fall to start working on my Masters Degree in Computer Engineering as part of the accelerated program.

Thanks for Everything,
