Teaching reinforces your understanding.

Connor Lantz

As a TA with the Graphics for Civil Engineers class, I've ventured beyond the role of a student to become an educator. This experience has strengthened my teaching, communication, and project management abilities. It's allowed me to share my comprehensive knowledge of AutoCAD, 3DS Max, and Photoshop with fellow students, helping them create high-quality plans and bridge designs.
