Dr. Yacob Astatke |
Morgan State Strives to Make Engineering Education More Accessible Dr. Yacob Astatke grew up in Ethiopia. Without sufficient local access to a technical education, he moved to America to complete his engineering degrees. He has a vision to make electrical engineering education available to students. Such effort would benefit students who lack the ability to travel for their education and those in remote geographies. October 22, 2012 |
