Biography
Noah Drakes is a computer engineering major and music minor from Atlanta, Georgia. Drakes has an interest in the Internet of Things (also known as IOT) field and hopes to become a senior engineer, developing creative ways to integrate hardware and software to advance the standard of living for many communities. He chose Howard University because of the opportunities it offers students—from internships to personal development—and the many fortune 500 companies within STEM fields that it attracts. Drakes’ primary goal is to become an expert in his discipline, and he believes Howard will amply prepare him to pursue a Ph.D. route with a top graduate program. He chose STEM because he has always possessed an innate affinity toward the field, and his desire is to serve as an inspiration to other young Black males by being one of the few to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering and math.
