Eminent Engineer Profile, Alumni Events, & Deep Learning Lecture (Nov. 2018)

Donna M. Auguste, CO B ’80, was inducted into Tau Beta Pi as an eminent engineer by the CO Beta Chapter at CU Boulder during the 2018 TBP Convention. Auguste is a Ph.D. candidate in the ATLAS Institute at CU Boulder and was profiled in a news article.

Her latest research coined “DataTip,” promotes interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) among children and families of color by making STEM topics relevant to their daily lives. Previously, she worked for Apple and founded Freshwater Software & the Leave a Little Room Foundation. CO Beta Chapter’s Chief Advisor Sandy Pitzak, CO B ’00, said, “An eminent engineer sets a good example for the students, and Donna is an excellent example.”
