questions & challenges

Questions…

  1. What kind of technical writing will we do regarding the projects?

  2. How similar will this class experience be to real-world projects we work on in the future?

  1. A challenge I anticipate is time management- balancing out-of-class work time and other classes/ personal commitments.

  2. Another is the learning curve because I do not have much experience with tools like CAD or circuits.
