Pooja Maheshwari '20The MSQE program made me detail-oriented and able to work under tight guidelines and schedules. I also had the opportunity to work at the Center for Economic Research and Forecasting (CERF) as a Graduate Assistant. I worked with spreadsheets, data collection, analysis and presentation of data, and rational assumptions that go into an analysis. Being an international student, the MSQE program and CERF gave me a peek into how things are done in the U.S. and that has made me a more confident professional.
