Re: Question for college students.

Overall, it has positively affected my college abilities. I aced my first semester engineering classes because it was all basics that I have done in the past. One example was ProE. I have been using Inventor for 3 years before college so it was not that hard to adapt to the new software. One downside was that some of my teachers want me to do things their way. In one of my classes, we went over drafting and my specifically told me to break a drafting rule. I didn't and got docked 1 point, but I chose to follow the rules of drafting instead of his. I suppose had I not known the rules of drafting, I might not have lost this point but I would have lost plenty more from lack of knowledge. FIRST however, has helped me in many ways. I am used to pulling longer hours then what I used to. (all thanks to the build season) Overall, I suppose that it just strengthened my resolve. I always thought that I would like to be an engineer. But now I am certain. I know what my goal is and am always working towards it.

One thing that is not necessarily to your topic but might actually be: I am so used to using my graphing calculator, that now my college teacher that won't let me use a calculator and that makes it hard. (Sorry for the grammar issues, I am not an english major.)

I hoped this helped. PM me if you need anything cleared up.
