Presenting the 2022 winners of the Rittal Women in Tech Scholarships:
Ashlin Malik, University of Saskatchewan
Ashlin Malik is currently studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Ashlin has a great track record in the electrical/engineering field so far, as proven from her education, employment, activities, certifications, and we are sure that she will be a great asset to this field with her enthusiasm and dedication.
Ashlin says, “I have had experience working with many kinds of engineers, and I have come to enjoy the math and logic behind many electrical processes. I am interested in the power stream of electrical engineering because I get to be involved in building systems design. I have found power design to be the most challenging yet rewarding aspect of the overall design process. I would like to thank Rittal and EFC for this scholarship that will help me follow my dreams in becoming a professional electrical engineer like my dad.” Watch Ashlin’s full video here.
Laura Yang, McMaster University
Laura Yang is a student athlete studying Mechatronics Engineering and Management, as well as playing varsity water polo at McMaster University. Her future goals include being an aerospace engineer and working on space-related projects.
Laura says, “I am very grateful to have been awarded this scholarship from Rittal and the EFC. With a passion for software and robotics, I am excited to implement the skills I’ve learned into my future career. I enjoy spending my free time as a mentor and ambassador for the McMaster Faculty of Engineering, Women in Engineering, and the McMaster exchange program. I believe it’s important for future generations to see diversity in any field, especially engineering. While talking with younger students, I’ve been able to share what it’s like being a woman in engineering, a varsity athlete, and give tips for success in academics and searching for successful careers”.
