me to be hands-on and learn skills in areas which I haven't
learned through my major.”
“I've spent the past 7 semesters learning abstract concepts and
writing code, and I want to spend my last semester exploring the
physical side of tech while working on hands-on projects that
involve integrating physical things with electronics/software.”
“During all my academic career, I've focused on
simulation and theories. Now I want to learn the core
spirit of MIT, Mens and Manus.”
