SETU student, Lev Kachan, a second-year student on the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electronic Engineering, has been awarded an excellence award for achieving the highest GPA last academic year
Maeve Martin, Student and Graduate Engagement Executive, Engineers Ireland, came to the Kilkenny Road campus in Carlow to present the excellence award to Lev Kachan.
It is great to be here today to present the excellence Award. It is a fantastic achievement by Lev, he should be very proud of himself. A lot of hard work and commitment has been put into his studies, I can’t wait to see what the future holds
Lev achieved the highest GPA from among his first-year classmates, a fantastic achievement. SETU continues to acknowledge and award excellent academic achievement from students from first to final year.
Lev was born in Ukraine then moved to Ireland for his university studies. He is the first in his family to be involved in a STEM subject, he was fascinated my electronics from a very early age.
I always knew I wanted to study some form of electronics as I used to refurbish retro consoles at a young age. When it came to choosing a career path, a close friend of mine was working as a Tech Lead in a local electronics company recommended electronic engineering and I knew instantly that it would be perfect for me
Lev’s academic achievement is only the start for him. In the future he would like to work on advanced hardware design, ranging from silicon architecture and lithography to high performance end-user solutions like specialised accelerators.
