 Epic's this semester has impacted me in a lot of ways, most specifically by giving me a deeper look into sort of what engineering is like outside of the school and outside of the classroom. And it's been really interesting to me because I've been able to learn so many different technical skills that I wouldn't have if I was just taking my classes. Currently I'm working on a game development project to design a game from the ground up for a tablet for kids to learn more about manufacturing. And throughout this process I've had to go from storyboarding and writing out sort of some of our ideas and putting them into presentations and then all the way up through the actual software development and the things that I've had to learn in order to do that make it successful. I think one of the most valuable experiences I had was the design review. I got a lot of valuable feedback about how we could improve our game, how we could improve the approach to how we're developing this product from actual engineers who are in the industry and from the project partners that we are designing this product for. Epic's is actually one of the first-year learning communities that's offered at Purdue for first-year engineering students. And so this experience is really nice because you get a lot of different friends and you get to meet a lot of people with similar interests to you and this learning community gives you different kinds of perspectives about what other people are interested in around you as well. And you get to meet a lot of different people who can help you with your project and really, you know, take your interest in this subject to the next level.
