Yuting Chen
Assistant Professor Yuting Chen works in the ECE department at UIUC. She had a part in restructuring the ECE 220 curriculum, and she does as much as she can to make her lectures interactive and engaging for the students. She is currently working with the department to make lectures smaller and more flexible so that students have the opportunity to get to know the instructor, choose another instructor if need be, and develop a deeper understanding of the material. Chen has also worked on having a women’s mentoring group in 220 each semester for those who need help in order to promote the success of women engineers.
Chen earned her bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Illinois in 2007 and then got her masters and PhD in the field from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She worked at IBM for several years after receiving her PhD, during which time she discovered a passion for mentorship and teaching.
