Seeing the direct impact your time can have on students and the satisfaction of seeing a napkin sketch become a cad model, then into machined parts in less than six weeks is something you really can't get anywhere else.

Foss, this sounds like one of the countless discussions we would have around the dinner table at Clarkson. To me, seeing a student who would have been satisfied with average transform over however many years they are in the program is the best feeling. An example of this, one of the students on my old team was asked by his mom what he wanted to do when he was a freshman. His response before his first regional was to ride 4 wheelers, hunt, etc. After his first competition, he goes to his mom, Can I be an Engineer? Next year he will start working toward a engineering degree. Just thinking about it I get goosebumps.
