The class sizes are decent and the labs are annoyingly tedious. Almost everyday I find some point of reference for what I just learned and that makes me remember it. I learned about building and programming solid state micro controllers and then i saw one in a V-TEC engine and it took me maybe 3 hours to take the limiter off of it.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Social life is weak here unless you are somewhat of a nerd. At any given moment if you know the numbers of about 4 people here, you can start any form of video game tournament, jam session (if you play an instrument), or movie night. I'm relatively social so I found that out first semester.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You learn what you came here for and it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. As an upperclassman you can use the hi-tech campus labs and work benches for personal work...sadly freshman don't see the better labs unless they are on one of the competition teams like robotics or any of the many automotive teams.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you know what you like to do for fun then you can make any environment fun. Enjoy yourself, do your work ahead of time so you can eliminate stuff you have to do later.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The teachers make the perspective students versatile. There are drill teachers for people who need way too much help and there are teachers who don't mandate attendance or homework for the students who just want the option of help. I'd actually like to see more artists here.
