The hybrid sections are delivered on the regular basis each semester after oursuccessful initiation. The general format of the hybrid and traditional remains the same: 2 hoursof lectures per week and 2 hours of lab

. To me, joining a leadership program seemed like the next logical step, but I had noidea how much of an impact it would make on my communication skills, leadership abilities, andgeneral outlook on life.Throughout the first three years of coursework in the program, I was continually challenged toreflect on my own personal growth and development. Without the program I know that I wouldhave thought I was „good enough‟ at all of the skills previously mentioned. As soon as thisthought pops into ones head, that is the end of any hope that one can make a difference. I thinkthat is one of the biggest lessons learned through the program‟s coursework. I feel that having agroup of people who know me and can give feedback so I can grow is the only way to

Wechose phototherapy because students all had some background in previous coursework related tolight, and because it was unlikely to give an advantage to any students as a problem inmechanical or electrical modeling might have.
