How did your degree from UNI prepare you for your career?
My degree from UNI prepared me for my career in two major ways: through skills and networking. Throughout my time in the applied engineering program, I learned many applicable skills I use every day, such as Creo, GD&T, statistics and AutoCAD. Secondly, I was surrounded by professors and staff that had industry experience and connections. Many students I knew had jobs far before they graduated thanks to the staff's vast industry network.
