As a freshman in Mechanical Engineering, I came into CSU with little to no actual engineering experience. The most experience I had at the time was enjoying robotics, and my hobby in woodworking. Being so used to the normal type of lecture in which I would just sit there and write notes, the first survey being about how much of manufacturing we knew frightened me a little. Little did I know, it would just be the beginning of my extensive adventure in Mechanical Engineering.
