Erick Chacon was born and raised in Lima, Peru. His parents moved to the United States when he was 13 years old. As any other immigrant, the first big challenge in his life was to accommodate to a new language and culture. Once he defeated this obstacle, he began to seek what he wanted to do with his life after high school. Through research and some advising from family members and friends, he decided to major in Electrical Engineering. Erick started at the Northern Community College of Virginia (NOVA) and transferred to George Mason University in the Spring of 2011. Through his coursework, he found himself a strong interest in embedded systems, where he is waiting to land a job on. He is currently at his last semester and is expecting to graduate by the end of the year 2014. To see Erick’s profile, clink the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/erick-chacon/72/58/390

I got my A.S. degree in Automotive Technology (T-TEN) in 2006. Worked at Toyota Dealership for 6 years as a Toyota Master Technician. Due to my interest in Hybrid Technology I decided to pursue B.S.  degree in Electrical Engineering at George Mason University. As an Intern, I worked with construction company (General Contractor) as an assistant electrical engineer. During my internship, I worked on many projects including three GMU projects. After graduation I plan to work in Power sector as an Electrical Engineer or Automotive sector as an Automotive Engineer.
