• In the 60s, the Electrical Engineering Department offered EC (Electrical Communications) and EP (Electrical Power) courses.
• During our RIT days, the EP students outnumber the EC students by roughly 3 to 1. A rationale was that EP students can get jobs much more easily than EC students.
• Ma Tin Tin (Anne, EC69) was the sole female EE student from the Class of 69.
• The Class of EE 67 had Daw Yee Yee Aung, Daw Nancy and Daw Maywaddy Tun Tun.
• Daw Mya Mya Than (EP68) joined the faculty.

• In the following decades, the EC (now known as EcE or Electronics) students “overtook” the EP students.
• EE formally evolved into two Departments.
• There were more female EE students, and several joined the faculty. A few rose to become Associate Professors and Professors.
