What students are saying about MOT 4001:
"I interviewed for an internship with GE this summer, and there were a couple of questions I nailed because of what I learned in this course. The engineers interviewing me seemed very impressed. And I got the job!"
--JT, electrical engineering major
"Having taken this course over a year ago now, I have seen much application to the business fundamentals learned in that class. It has been able to transform my business life as well as my ability to relate to business people even though I come from a strong engineering background. This past summer I had the opportunity to run my own business. The skills and knowledge I learned in your management class were invaluable to me during that time."
--LS, mechanical engineering major
"I have been in college for 7 years now, working on a second degree, with over 200 credits under my belt, and your class certainly is one of the most useful and practical that I have taken."
--JK, mechanical engineering major
