Student FeedbackIt wasnt like anything I expected. I enjoyed working with students of anotherdiscipline. I really enjoyed working with a company, Smith and Wesson. It gave me agood understand about how a company works to develop new products.Mostly hands-on work, we actually did something instead of just talkingabout how to do it.Shows full design and implementation process of a product/idea.More like real world engineering then other classes.A good introduction to business practices that engineers would not haveseen until graduation. 11.
