The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) Student Advisory Committee (SAC) at Iowa State University is a group of electrical, computer, software, and cyber security engineering students currently enrolled in an undergraduate EE, CprE, Cyb E, or SE program of study at Iowa State who are interested in the vitality of the ECpE department. The committee is a consultant to the ECpE department chair to strengthen the department’s undergraduate academic and outreach programs, improve its facilities usage for undergraduate teaching and research, and expand its available support to current students and future alumni. SAC members actively participate in the continual assessment of the department’s progress and the development of policies and activities pertaining to the undergraduate experience in the department.
SAC members actively assist in recruiting new members, as well. The committee serves at the discretion of the ECpE department chair.

Ezra Manus 
My name is Ezra Manus. I was born and raised in Ames, Iowa, and am now a senior Electrical Engineering (EE) student here at Iowa State. My specialization is Communication Systems, and I was able to apply my knowledge this past summer during an internship with Verizon in Irvine, California, where I was able to perform research on the newest small cell devices and even begin the preparation plans for the World Cup (2026) and the Olympics (2028)! Since January 2023, I have been the acting President of the IEEE student organization here at ISU. My focus has been offering students the opportunity to connect with industry representatives to obtain an internship / full-time employment while providing educational outreach through practical projects related to Audio and Arduino. My long-term career goal is to obtain my masters in EE, and then go on to Law School with the intent of becoming a Patent Attorney.
