If
you're entering any Engineering program, don't let Graphics and Mechanics
(required for all Engi majors) frighten you: they're weeding-out classes,
it gets better after that. While classes at STMU sometimes
don't cover cutting edge stuff, you do get a good
understanding of the underlying principles. If you're an engineering major,
USE THE MACHINE SHOP! How many mechanical engineers get out
of college knowing how to machine what they design? Huge
advantage when looking for a job. Definitely make friends with
the lab managers and lab assistants, 24/7 access to lab
equipment makes life a lot easier (and a lot more
interesting if you like to tinker, and if you don't
why are you in an engineering program?)
Yes, the bell
tower was a boondoggle. We planned to use it to
launch UAVs but there's no access to the top unfortunately.
Campus police generally mean well, but they're simple.
Use the
fact that the engineering department is small to your advantage:
professors are generally very accessible.
