Electrical and computer engineering (ECE) master's student Kenneth Ho was selected as the 2007 Texas Instruments (TI) Scholar as part of a program established through the company’s Industrial Affiliate partnership with the department.

TI Scholars, selected among students with an interest and academic background in communications and signal processing, work on selected research topics during the academic year and throughout the summer. The program provides a tuition grant, stipend and benefits.

Ho joins current TI Scholar Jerker Taudien, another ECE graduate student.
