Live Virtual Tour: Electrical and Computer Engineering

Awesome Hello everybody welcome welcome. My name is Kaylee and I'll do my more formal introduction later. I'm just going to give a little bit of a couple minute buffer just so that we can make sure everyone gets logged in successfully. I know that today there's definitely been a couple of mishaps and some difficulties with on line webinars and things like that, so I just want to make sure that everyone can get on on time.

Um but.

Exciting, it looks like we have a couple of people from Colorado and a couple people from California so out of state. I'm really glad that you could join us today.

So this to kind of give you an idea of what today's tour is going to entail. The tour today is a focus on electrical and Computer Engineering, so I I'll definitely cover very in depth version of the electrical and Computer Engineering overview for our tour. But besides that I'll also talk about a couple of the different resources we have on campus and the engineering residential learning community will also look at what?

A room looks like in that residence Hall. Besides that, if any of you are interested.

And something like maybe particular to electrical and computer engineering or particular to some of the extra curriculars that we've kind of gone over today. Feel free to drop that in the chat just so that I can get an idea of what you guys are looking for for this tour, because I want to try to make it as personalized as possible. Also, I will. We will definitely finish the tour section of this session.

Around like 330 pretty early I would say so. I'm going to leave a lot of that rest of the time for questions, so if any of you do have any questions we can use this time to literally I will answer any question you throw at me. I love answering questions and I love interaction so let me know what your interests are. If you have any questions throughout the tour as we go through it definitely then maybe. I hope that I can wrap up early just because it has been a very long day today.

And I know that everyone's kind of feeling the zoom or online web and are kind of lag just because everything's just been so online so.

Cool if again, if any of you want to let me know what you're specifically interested in, or just what you're looking for to most in this tour, just so that I know that I can definitely cover all of my bases, but I'm going to go ahead and at least give my formal introduction now. So hello everyone, my name is Kaylee Ann. I'm a fourth year studying computer energy.

Words Computer Engineering my pronouns are she, her and hers. I hail from Honolulu, HI, a couple of the things that I'm involved in on campus. I work as an ambassador for the College of engineering. Obviously, I'm also the financial officer for the electrical and computer engineering outreach team. This is an outreach team that cater specifically towards getting middle schoolers and high schoolers involved in the stem field. An interested in the electrical and computer engineering industries. I'm also president of Pacific club, so if you're looking for.

Getting involved outside of the College of engineering. It's definitely possible. I highly recommend it. It kind of gives yourself a little bit of a balance break in your life.

Yeah, so without further ado I will kind of start the tour and we're going to start by a general welcome to campus. So I would like to say kind of just to start off a lot of the pictures that you'll see here. Some of them people might not be wearing masks or might not be socially distance, and that's just because these pictures might have been taken before the whole kovid pandemic hit. So just so that you're all aware of that, that's not currently what campus looks like right now.

So this is our beautiful canvas, just a couple pictures. The top left pictures actually of our newly renovated lagoon which is really nice and also our lory student center and the bottom picture is of our new stadium which was built in 2017.

Cool, so we're actually so in overall tour. There's typically two buildings that we kind of talk about in terms of academics. There's the Scott Bio Medical Engineering Building and the regular engineering building the Scott Biomedical Engineering Building is housed is a newer building, so I like to say newer building newer majors. This is what it looks like. It's very beautiful.

So typically in this building you'll see biomedical engineering and chemical and biological engineering. So today we're going to skip this building just because it doesn't really apply to electrical and Computer Engineering. But I have had class classes in this building, so you can definitely have a class anywhere on campus. I've had classes in the stadium before.

Before we kind of move on to the next building, I think that one of the resources that I really do like to talk about on my tours is the engineering 6 center. So typically when you go on a tour will tell you to meet us in the engineering success center because this is where the office of the ambassadors are located. The engineering success center as a whole offers a lot of resources for students getting ready for their professional career. So through the engineering success center, they offer two career fairs every year.

One each semester and the career fairs are really awesome way for students to get internships or to get coop San also to get entry level positions once they graduate. Besides that, the Career Center also houses workshops to kind of get students professionally ready so they have LinkedIn workshops, resume reviews. Ann mock interviews especially around the time of the career fair. A lot of these workshops get pretty filled just because students were kind of getting prepared.

Typically we like to say that engineering resumes are very different than what you'll find in, for example, like.

An art history major resume kind of a thing. Alot of engineering resumes are bullet pointed to the point they want to know what you did when you did it and why you did it and besides that they don't want any other fluff. Kind of a thing and so having someone looking at your resume is really helps to kind of narrow down what you should include and what you shouldn't include besides that they also have mock interviews which is really nice. You could even tell them hey I have an interview in a couple weeks with Lockheed Martin. Do you think you could talk?

Cater this mock interview to some of the questions that I would be asked while I interview with Lockheed Martin so thus cater those interviews to a specific company. If you ask as well.

So that's kind of all we really need to talk about, at least within the Scott Bio Medical Engineering Building. So we're all kind of move on to the main building, which is the regular engineering building or the original engineering building. I like to say older building older majors so you will definitely find the more established majors that are located in this building. You'll have mechanical, civil, electrical, an the subgroups of that. So civil is also associated with.

Environmental, so you'll find environmental engineering in here and computer is also associated with electrical, so you'll find computer engineering in this building as well. This is just another kind of view of our beautiful building, just to kind of give you a layout. So this building is more in the Y shape an each wing is a special designation for a specific like major in the College of engineering, so you could have like the B&C wings is for electrical engineering and the A wing is for mechanical engineering.

Just to kind of give you an idea of what to expect.

Got through the first stop. I'm going to make is just another resource for students in the College of engineering and this is the idea to product lab. So the idea to product lab is a 3D printing lab and it's open to all students in the College of engineering. It's located in the basement of the mechanical engineering wing, so.

Typically you'll find mechanical and electrical and computer engineering students are the most to utilized this space, but it's definitely open to any student in the College of engineering.

I really like to say that it's a really great resource for students just to even know about because it's really versatile in many different ways. Basically, you'll pay a $25 fee per semester I think, and as long as you bring your own printing material, you can have 24 hour access to this room.

What's really awesome is that this lab can be used for a lot of different applications, so maybe you're chemical and biological engineer and you don't really have a lot to do with 3D printing, but even putting it on your resume is a really nice skill to have. Or you're in electrical computer engineering or mechanical engineering, and you have a component that you're trying to manufacture. But before you get the finalized product, you want to feel want to see what it feels like in your hand. So you do like a replica.

Or a demo of that piece and a lot of times senior design students will come into this lab 3D print. One of their pieces just to see if it fits in the general structure or design. And once it's solidified then they'll move on to manufacturing it in a more expensive material for example. So this is a really great lab to use. I wish we had more pictures of really cool things that students have produced in this lab.

I've always called it the Harry Potters like the Hogwarts school, so there was in the lab. There's an example of a 3D printed like building that.

It looks like it was at Hogwarts, but apparently it's not Hogwarts, which makes me really sad.

But I always think of it as a Hogwarts building and the detail and the tooth and the amazing.

Design of the 3D printing of the 3D printed material just shows kind of how versatile you can take this or make use of this lab. It can be for your own personal use. I know someone tried to 3D print like an Iron Man suit in the lab, which is a really interesting time. Or I've also had students who, as I said, do it more because they have a project that they need to get done.

Cool, so I will move on to the electrical and computer engineering slides. Sadly, I wish I had more really nice pictures of these spaces, but I don't have too many so I'll just kind of be talking a lot over the next few slides.

Um?

OK, so let's start off electrical and Computer Engineering.

The first thing I always really liked to cover an electrical and Computer Engineering is really the difference between the two right? And so in a very general explanation, electrical engineering on one side of the spectrum tends to look at hardware and componentry and circuit design, whereas on the other side of the spectrum you might have computer science and that tends to look at coding, analog algorithm writing, telling a computer what to do, and so in the middle you have a nice computer engineering curriculum.

The students typically look at the combination of where hardware meets software and a way to describe the way to describe the curriculum in Computer Engineering is that students will take basically almost all of the electrical engineering.

Class is an instead of taking like general science classes or having an option to take certain classes, they'll take specifically computer science classes. So, for example, electrical engineering students actually have to take a chemistry class. Computer engineering students rather than taking the chemistry class will take a computer science class, so that's kind of a very general overview of what these two majors are. Besides that this lab specifically.

Is the main hub for a lot of your lab spaces in the electrical computer engineering curriculum. Specifically within the two or the three years that you'll have taking classes in labs. So from your first year to year, third year, most of your labs will be in this room.

And it's pretty interesting because a lot of what you do can be small enough to be transported in your computer, and so 11 lab space with a lot of computers is versatile enough for electrical and computer engineering. Students who do most of their lab work. Typically we like to say that lab work can be done.

I like to call it a 5050 split for the most part honestly, so you'll have 50% of your time learning in a lecture based scenario, whereas the other 50% of your time will be in a lab scenario. This is the example of a lab space. Typically. For example, you might have lecture three times a week for 50 minutes and then you'll have lab once a week for 2 hours and 50 minutes for example, and so that's kind of like the even distribution of time.

These labs are actually really cool, so to kind of breakdown the curriculum between every year of the ECE programs in your first year, you'll take.

ECE 102 and 103. Each semester 102 is digital logic and it definitely focuses a lot on the software.

Or computer engineering idea of digital logic and digital applications of electrical engineering concepts, and so that's a lot of what you'll do in that class, and then the other classes. 103 an that looks at.

DC analysis, so you're looking at basic circuit design that students will encounter just so that they can learn about voltage and current and how different components like resistors and capacitors change those elements. A voltage in the current. Typically we like to do that because in your first year it will give you an introduction to what could be computer engineering curriculum and what could be electrical engineering curriculum. Depending on how you work your schedule basically.

Which is really nice in your second year.

Again, all electrical and computer engineering students are still in the same classes. You'll take ECE 202 in ECE. 303303 is.

Probably the most conceptually challenging Class I've taken. It's a lot of statistics and you don't really understand why you need it until you get to your later years. ECE 202 is a really interesting class. It kinda is the introduction class to all of the concepts that you'll learn in your junior year or in your third year.

That class is taught by an amazing professor. I still speak with her today. She's a really great resource to just kind of talk to and hang out with.

Man, I've done really cool labs in that class. I've made a line following robot before. I've done a lot of different.

Concepts expanding on what you learn in your first year to get you ready for your third year. Kind of. It's a really nice transitional period. I would say. And then in your third year you'll take.

If you're an electrical engineering student, you'll take electromagnetics, you'll take.

Electronics annual take.

Linear systems.

And if you're a computer engineering students, you'll take the electronics on the linear systems class, but instead of taking electromagnetics, you'll take something called Digital Design in your first year in your first semester, and then computer architecture in your second semester. So the third year is really when you kind of start to diverge between the electrical and computer engineering curriculum.

But only by one class. For the most part and for me it was really awesome because I knew that I had picked computer engineering to be my right major. Just because taking the computer architecture and the digital design class where my favorite classes that I took that year and I'm really glad that I had done the computer engineering curriculum in that way. So just kind of showed me that that was like the right path. Kind of an idea.

But yeah, so that's a really brief overview of your first three years and then your last year is your senior year annual. Take your senior design annual, have tech electives and tech electives are once you get all of the required classes out of the way, you can finally start taking classes that fit your.

Industry that you want to go into or the concepts that you find interesting kind of thing. So if you want to specialize in power, you can do that. Power and systems. Or if you want to specialize in robotics, you can take a control class. You can take a robotic programming class. You can do a lot of different things.

So definitely, senior years when you kind of start to get into the fund phases of your curriculum. Kind of talking about your senior year, going back to what I had mentioned. Senior design is something that all students in the College of engineering have to participate in. Its required as your capstone project and senior design actually is really cool. I'm currently in senior design now. Anne. While I absolutely love what I'm doing in the concepts that I'm learning an it's made me realize what industry I want to go into.

It's also a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun work. I would say in the pictures here.

The left picture and the bottom right picture is actually an example of a senior design project. This is the MRI machine senior design project. So typically when you're in an MRI machine you get into like a little bed and you lie on the bed and it pushes you into the machine and then there's a little clicky sound by your ear. Because the machine is rotating around you and it's moving from the top of your body to the bottom of your body 'cause it's going to take a scan of your entire body.

The new and proposed MRI machine project that what they're doing in this picture is actually a project that they're going to where they changed the MRI machine to take a picture of your entire body at one time. So that's a scaled down version of the MRI machine, and the wiring around it is put in such a way that the electromagnetic flow between the wires takes the most.

Accurate, well defined picture that we've seen of MRI machines since they were invented, and it also takes it faster because it takes it at one time rather than going through your entire body. Kind of a thing which is really awesome and it's really innovative for the medical industry.

Um, to kind of give you idea of the senior design project that I did.

Or that I'm currently a part of. So originally in the Pharmaceutical industry, there's something called a well played and it's basically a plate with lots of wells. Think of like a golf ball that's flat and out at the bottom of every well. What we're going to do is put a sensor in it and the sensor is going to sense five different elements. Oxygen, pH, glucose, a couple other things, and it's basically an idea for pharmaceutical research. If you wanted to develop a drug, but you don't want to test it on animals or humans, you can test it on cells that you can grow.

Say you have a cancer cell on your testing. A medicine for cancer.

The presence of cancer is an excess amount of oxygen around the cell because the cell needs so much oxygen for the cancer cell to grow. So the idea behind it is these cells. If you're doing testing a pharmaceutical drug, you start off with a cell with oxygen and maybe it takes like some arbitrary number, like 15 blank. However, you measure oxygen forward the cancer cell. If the number drops to maybe like 5, that means the cell reverted from a cancer cell to an original cell.

So that's kind of the idea of testing how the drug works. Kind of an idea. So what I'm doing is I'm doing a printed circuit board or PCB design of a circuit that reads the sensor an outputs to a computer for these for a user interface. Basically, and that's my whole senior design project with eight other students. So it's really awesome, and it's a really great time besides that, ECE in general actually has a lot of innovative things going on in the Department.

And it's really amazing and it helps prepare students way more than some people think. The first thing I'd like to talk about is open option projects. So OPI, this is basically.

One credit class students can take any year, typically in their first to their 30 year, where they can propose any.

Project they want to do, whether it be an irf century or a.

Electric bike or noise cancelling headphones and they can basically design that in their entire class so it's basically a project with a professor guide and these projects aren't necessarily innovative or new in any capacity, but they're really awesome because it helps students kind of understand how the concepts that they're learning in their first few years apply to a real world scenario. Alot of times you see that like in the first year, it's really conceptual and students are really confused and they don't really understand how it applies.

So this kind of project helps to reinforce what they're learning. An also helps him to see the bigger picture of where it goes. Another thing that I like to talk about our vertically integrated projects. This is another one credit class where students can actually hop onto a senior design project before their seniors and stick with it for as long as they want. So I'm I'm currently technically doing 2 senior design projects, and that's because I was a VIP student since sophomore year, so I'm currently on my well played project, which is my real senior design project.

And I'm up. The outreach team is my other sub senior design project.

Lastly, and probably the most cool thing that this Department has is the iOS.

EIR stands for engineers in residence, their professional engineers, who donate their time to come on campus and help students with their projects in figuring out what they need to do. So as a senior design student, I work closely with the IRS so that they can be my mentors and kind of help guide me where I need to go, but it's also really awesome because these are people who are currently working in the industry, so they need to have a really good idea of maybe where the industry is going in the next 10 years and they have a really good idea of what the industry needs right now.

So it's really awesome just to kind of talk to them and to hear about it, because it helps you figure out if ECE might be the right fit for you.

Cool, that was a lot of information.

Definitely, so I'm going to do a really quick five minute version of a couple other things so the engineering, residential learning community, or the ER else. This is the engineering with specific residence Hall. I think you might have heard about it a little bit in other sessions, but just to make sure that we're all kind of on the same page, I'm going to do a really brief overview. So the engineering specific residence Hall is really nice on the 1st floor, there's a lot of study spaces, an computer labs so you can see like.

On the bottom right hand picture, that's a really nice idea of a collaborative study space.

And there's also tutoring on the 1st floor of the engineering residential building. Tutoring is from Sunday night to Thursday night, and every night of the week is a different major of interest. So like ECE can be Tuesday night, San mechanical can be Wednesday nights, and so on and so forth.

Moving up the building, the rest of the building are just rooms for students and the engineering residential learning community. Is that the private suite type? So that means you and your roommate will share one bathroom. So it's really nice 'cause it's only you and your roommate. You don't have to share it with the whole floor. You don't have to share it with multiple people besides you, and hopefully someone that you get along with really well the everything from the door to the bathroom and the sink area will be cleaned every other week for you, so you don't really have to worry about that too much.

And besides that, it's definitely probably one of the nicest.

Rooms that or one of the nicest residence halls that we have in.

Ah, on campus in general.

The other type of styles that you can choose to live in our community style and the Jack and Jill style. I lived in Allison Hall so I lived in a community style dorm. That's where the entire floor shares one bathroom so that bathroom will have three showers for toilets and five sinks and that gets cleaned every day. Kind of a thing so.

Yeah, that is a really, really brief overview of what we kind of learned. I will go back and kind of cover.

Learning spaces really quickly, so because we're talking about ECE specifically, this is the BC infill. It's located in between the B in Esea wings and that's actually both ECE wings. So the BCN fellow is really for electrical and computer engineering students. That's really the central hub you have tas who have office hours in this space, but it is open to anyone in the College of engineering, and this is probably one of my favorite spaces because you can choose how collaborative you want to be. So on the right hand side you can see like a group of five people.

Brought all of their desks together and they are studying for something whereas on the left side you can see one person has a desk to himself and he's doing his own thing and so it's really nice because me and my friends can meet up there to go over a test and I've also had professors who have like Saturday office hours before test in there just till I get any last minute questions in. So it's really nice and it's a really great space for students.

Besides that, there is also classrooms so classroom spaces.

In your first few years they are going to be pretty big. I'd say this in.

The largest class I ever had was probably my physics class and that was upwards of 100 or 250 students.

But as you kind of go through the curriculum, your classes definitely get smaller. And finally, in your senior year when you're taking tech electives an it's not know classes specifically required, you actually get a lot of students participating in small class sizes. So like one of my classes right now as a senior is 20 students, so it's really nice. It's a really big change from 200 and 5225, but it's also really cool because even when you are in those really big spaces they offer recitations and they offer.

Office hours lab time to kind of help students get that smaller individual one on one.

Um, feeling the left hand side is probably my favorite classroom on campus, that's.

Harper Auditorium in the.

Scott bio engineering building. That's probably one of my favorite classrooms in the entire college or in the entire University. It's big. It fits 200 students, not with Kovid and they.

It's really nice because it's more wide than it is long, so even if you sit in the back of the classroom, you are pretty close to the Professor.

So you don't feel as far away from a professor as you would, maybe in some of the other classrooms that are also the same size as this.

On the right hand side that is a classroom in.

Clark, it is worth noting that all classes can be anywhere on campus, but specifically the engineering buildings are meant for lab spaces and offices and study spaces resources specific to the College of engineering. But classes can really be anywhere, so I've actually had a lot of classes in Clark which most of the classrooms in conflict like that. But it's really nice as well. I'd say for the most part, like even though you have classes that have a really big capacity, I've had a lot of classes that just happened to be in large spaces, and it doesn't mean that there is like.

The Max capacity of that room signed up to for the class. Kind of a thing, so those are really nice too.

OK, that was a lot of talking one second.

OK, so does anyone have any questions or anything that they want me to kind of go over or reiterate?

Or anything that they kind of want me to cover. Maybe outside of ECE I'm done with my ECU portion, so if you would all like to leave and kind of like, take a break and be done for the day, I completely understand I will not take offense at all. This is something more along the lines of if anyone wants to stay behind, ask any questions or kind of just interact and kind of get an idea of a student's perspective in general. Definitely feel free to interact. Send me a question.

Ask me to go over maybe a different major or different types of resources.

Yeah, it's all up to you, and if not, if I don't get any questions by Lake.

335 I'll probably lagaf and let y'all have the rest of your day to yourself, but I will stay on as long as you need me too, just to be able to answer any questions.

Oh yes.

OK.

Hi Jackie.

One second I'm going to answer Chris's question first, but do you have or?

Do you have to take a computer science class in high school before majoring in electrical or computer engineering? I've taken math classes but not a computer science course, so that's a really good question. An no. You definitely don't have to take a computer science class to major in computer or electrical engineering. If you wanted to major in electrical engineering, you actually only have to take one class of computer science, and besides that, you can choose to take more. But you definitely don't have to. And the first class that you take is actually an introductory level class.

So it's either CS 163 or 164.

The CS 163 classes for students with no prior coding experience in the CS.

164 classes for students with prior coding experience. So you definitely do not have to take a computer science class to be able to major in ECE.

What would you say was your toughest semester, Vizio? That's that's a really good question. OK, let me think back.

My toughest semester just ECE Curriculum Wise.

Um?

Was probably.

Last semester, so the sophomore are the second semester of my junior year, my third year, and that's specifically because there.

In general, the junior classes. That's when you take. I was taking three ECE classes at once and before that I had only taken like one ECE class at a time. For the most part. So it was a really big transition. But specifically my sophomore year because or my junior year because there were the class that I was taking, which was computer architecture. While I really liked what I was doing, it was.

A little bit harder conceptually because it was a 400 level class in a junior year, so he actually considered a lot of students in that class for seniors, so they had a little bit more experience and he had assumed that some everyone in the class had finished their junior year their third year, and it was hard because I would have to be like I we didn't learn it. Me and my few friends who were 30 years in Computer Engineering didn't take that class or didn't finish those classes that he thought we had.

So it was a lot of catching up and going back and forth, but the professor in itself was really.

Great because he met with us individually and he tried to get us. Give us extra reading materials to kind of catch us up just so that we knew what he was talking about and weren't too confused. So I think it was the most challenging because of the amount of time that I had to give into it. Also we went on line halfway through the semester because Covid hit which didn't help, but it didn't. Definitely didn't hurt either.

It was like a more mild inconvenience that we all kind of transition to pretty easily, I would say.

Besides that, if you're talking about.

Over all semesters, I think the very first semester of my first year was the hardest semester. I had not necessarily because of the ECE curriculum, but because transitioning to college was really hard for me. And that was like academically probably the toughest grades that I've ever received because learning how to study again and learning how to pick yourself up when you're down was hard. Specifically, like in high school, I was a really good student. I would say like.

I didn't really get bad grades per say, but in college was the first time I had ever gotten an F on a test and I felt really hard. It was really **** ** myself because I didn't understand why and I thought I had put in like a good amount of effort into studying, but it was. It's a completely different ball game. You know, when you go from high school to college and so that probably was the toughest semester for me. Overall kind of a thing.

Cool awesome Jack answer. Some of Jackie's questions now though.

She asked what kind of internship student see students undertake, and that's a really good question, and so the overall premise is that over not about 90% of students in the College of engineering will participate in a internship before they graduate with kovid. I'm not too sure what are statistics are now, but beforehand students actually would participate in a lot of different types of internships, specifically in ECE. It's really nice because a lot of the big companies are located in Fort Collins or in Denver or in the surrounding areas.

So off the top of my head, Intel, IBM, Hewlett-Packard.

Woodward, these are a lot of companies who are hiring ECE students and they're really nice. They all appear at our career fair, which is an awesome time to definitely a resource. I would recommend taking a part of.

Besides that, I would say.

The types of engineering internships in terms of industry that you can go into really very. I've had friends who got internships at powerhouses, so they've went into a power internship. I've had student friends who did like software engineering internships. I've had friends who go into internships for like hardware design and things like that. So it's it's a really vast.

Ah, my area that students can go into in terms of engineering internships, but besides that.

I would recommend doing your research. I can sit here and kind of like list a lot of things that students have done, but depending on your interest and also depending on what the current.

Big industries are by the time you're ready for an internship that might change, so just kind of during the time look. But there's always an internship no matter what your interest is.

And Jackie also asked, how does hands-on learning prep you for internships and future careers? That is a really good question, so in general.

The reason why companies who are looking to hire entry level positions want students who have participated in internships is because of the experience that they get in industry because in general, completing an internship you'll find is really different than completing your coursework at a University, and so a lot of times students.

Who kind of get that hands-on learning are able to be a little bit better at like communicating, right? Working on a project with a lot of people kind of gives you the idea of what experience will be like when you are entering the workforce. Hands-on learning also kind of helps prepare you for the individual individuality of the workplace in general, right? If you're stuck on a problem in a lab space, you can raise your hand and ask that EA for help.

And things like that. And that's really encouraged, because they want you to be asking questions. That's like, no one knows all of the answers, and they don't expect that even in industry. But kind of participating in projects in general helps students understand.

How to research for themselves, right? Whether that be Googling something or looking through their textbook for a specific equation or consulting with the TA, who in an industry parallel would probably be like your manager, for example. So those kinds of hands-on learning experiences gives you a different type of knowledge than taking a test or going to a lecture, which is really why.

Which is why I really like to push all over those project based things like the engineer, the open option projects or the VIP which is the vertically integrated projects. Those are really great options for students to participate in because it kind of gives them another in their resume or in there.

Toolbox of things that they've participated in.

Cool, I don't see.

Any other questions anymore anyways?

If you do have any questions, definitely feel free to drop those in the chat box below.

Other than that, I will definitely stay on. If you do have any questions 'cause I love answering questions and getting an helping to prepare you for what to expect, right? That's kind of why we're all here.

I definitely liked the question about the toughest semester and easy 'cause there was like that was like a two parter. That was a pretty good question that would say.

Yeah.

Any other questions?
