In a few cases, theywere finally achieving their goal of being able to take everything they had been learning in classand building a car, robot, or other device. In one case, a student identified signal processing astoo theoretical, and her interest in bioengineering stemmed from the applied nature of the courses(e.g., more laboratory experiences and real-life problems).
