Christopher Stemple is an unusually well-rounded alum, having earned a BS in electrical and computer engineering in 2010, an MS in BME and engineering management the following year, and an Eller College of Management MBA in 2019. Stemple has been involved with the Interdisciplinary Capstone program for a decade, first at Texas Instruments and now at Raytheon, an RTX Business, where he is senior manager of electrical engineering.
He first started supporting as a Craig M. Berge Design Day judge and has worked on both sides of the sponsorship coin, helping support the corporate sponsorship of up to five different projects at a time at both Texas Instruments and Raytheon.
"At each Design Day, Seeing the pride and sense of accomplishment on every student’s face is among the most rewarding moments," Stemple said.
