Energy Land and Infrastructure’s (ELI) president and co-owners know the quality of a Tennessee Tech engineering education. ELI, a professional engineering and survey firm focused on energy, civil and transportation infrastructure, employs approximately 60 people. And nearly a dozen of those employees — including the president and co-owners — are Tech graduates! ELI perennially ranks in Nashville Business Journal’s Top 25, based on its number of local licensed professional engineers.
“We have 15-plus universities represented at ELI, and we have really talented people from all over the southeast,” said Thomas “Chuck” Saunders, president and owner of ELI. “But I always say Tennessee Tech is one of the best engineering schools in the southeast and best in the state. There’s a lot of practical knowledge in the graduates coming out of Tech. When I hire a Tech grad, there’s that instant comradery.”
