I wasn't really sure what engineering was and whether or not I would want to study the field in college, but after going to this program, I've realized that I'm most definitely going to be an engineer.  I was truly impressed with the faculty at Virginia Tech, and they made the experience worthwhile and very interesting. - C-Tech² participant

I liked that I found other people like me. I am not offered engineering classes at my school, and it was reassuring to know that others are at the same spot as me. I also like that I saw all different sides of engineering, and have a better understanding about what engineering is.  - C-Tech² participant

I loved the breadth of engineering programs we had the opportunity to learn about, and the very fact that we learned what engineering is. I also love how we were all given further opportunities (such as the fall visitation) to ensure our advancement into engineering and Virginia Tech. I'll never be the same.  - C-Tech² participant
