Success Story
Julien Branlard begins work at Fermilab today as
the first John Bardeen Engineering Fellow. A
recent graduate of the Illinois Institute of
Technology, Julien Branlard isthe first
recipient of the John Bardeen Engineering
Fellowship. "Julien will make an outstanding
addition to Fermilab," said Ralph Pasquinelli,
Accelerator Division RF Department Head and the
inspiration behind the fellowship. "He's an
articulate, talented team player who will hit the
ground running with his outstanding engineering
skills." Branlard began his studies in France
and transferred to the Illinois Institute of
Technology in 2000. After graduating with a Ph.D.
in electrical engineering last December, he began
looking for a way to continue his work in the
United States. Fermilab Today 2005

CHOICE OF COURSES AT IIT

• IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Not all courses are offered all of the time
• Some courses will be offered once every two years
• Some courses will be offered once every year
• Some courses will be offered each semester
• Some courses may not be offered/opened if there
  are less than 10 students registered for the

  graduate-level work.
• Verbal Reasoning Measures your ability to
  analyze and evaluate written material and
  synthesize information obtained from it, analyze
  relationships among component parts of sentences
  and recognize relationships among words and
  concepts.
• Quantitative Reasoning Measures problem-solving
  ability, focusing on basic concepts of
  arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.
• Analytical Writing Measures critical thinking
  and analytical writing skills, specifically your
  ability to articulate and support complex ideas
  clearly and effectively.

78
The GRE GENERAL REVISED TESThttp//www.ets.org/gr
