Never even knew they existed before this! I’m a senior. This activity should be donewith freshmen.” and “They definitely exposed me to resources I had not used before. It wouldhave been helpful to have this exposure in 141 (EGR 141 Introduction to Engineering Design, afirst year course) even though there was no research. The information could have been helpful inmore than just this class.” We placed the workshops in the senior design course since there is adefinite need for information research there.
