Educating Ryan

By David Hunt
Ryan Going admits he didn't know anything about engineering when he
enrolled at NC State three years ago. He's learned a lot since then. In
October, after he graduates with an undergraduate degree in electrical
engineering and applied mathematics, Going will head to Cambridge
University to complete a master's degree in micro- and nanotechnology
enterprise.
It's a remarkable opportunity for the Durham County
native, who was one of just 37 American recipients of a highly
competitive Gates Cambridge Scholarship this year. The scholarship,
which pays the full cost of a master's or doctorate degree at the
British university, was established in 2000 by the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation.
