Student Stories

“One of the most important skills I learned was how to write well technically and document your work. Without detailed documentation, other people can’t replicate your results. This is the kind of skill that earns the respect of future employers!”

“I selected Computer Software Engineering because of my passion for computers, video games, and exposure to programming in high school. This program was the perfect choice for me and I have never regretted it. When I needed help, I would contact the teacher of the class using email. They were always quick to respond and very helpful. The library was a great place for quiet productive study time and it is where I spent most of my out-of-class time between classes during the day.”
