Dr. Rhonda Gaede discusses why she gives
"I give for the reason I teach, to make a difference in the lives of students."
I was born in San Antonio, Texas where I graduated from MacArthur High School . Then, I went to Southern Methodist University (SMU) and received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. While in school at SMU, I worked for Rockwell International as part of the cooperative education program. After graduation, I moved from Dallas to Austin to work for Motorola, Inc. as a Product Engineer in the Microprocessor Division. I received my Master's Degree and my PhD, both in EE, from the University of Texas at Austin. While in graduate school, I met and married Glen Long. We have two boys, one a civil engineering student at Georgia Tech and one a senior in high school. Since 1991, my family and I have lived in Alabama. I have been teaching in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UAHuntsville since 1992.
