Congratulations to Dallas SWE’s December Member of the Month, Liz Biru!
Liz’s journey into engineering started as a love for physics and mathematics in high school. With the support and encouragement from her physics teacher, Liz pursued a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Texas at Dallas. Throughout her academic pursuits, Liz participated actively in various organizations such as SWE, ASME, and NSBE to expand her network of engineering colleagues.
While her senior year proved to be challenging it also provided the opportunity to receive a job offer from Emerson, her team’s corporate sponsor for their senior design project. Liz accepted her first role post-college as a Test and Evaluation Engineer at Emerson. This role allowed the perfect opportunity for the theories of engineering and practicalities of reality to collide which expanded her skills in applying engineering practices successfully in real-world applications. In this role, Liz built strong professional relationships with clients, vendors, and colleagues across the globe to be utilized for better product development. Liz continued her development in various roles at Emerson while exploring and experiencing other aspects of the business such as supply chain, business strategy, and project management. Liz is currently a Product Manager responsible for developing and executing strategies for new products and expanding current products across the business with a focus on maximizing profit and increasing customer satisfaction.
While in college and her professional life, Liz has recognized the lack of women representation and enjoys actively contributing to organizations that aim to change that. SWE provides a great platform to showcase the amazing opportunities that can come from pursuing an engineering career.
