Senior Ryan Thompson, also at RPI, said there's so much to learn about engineering that she has to tell herself to focus on what's important to her.

Andy Wolfe, an assistant professor at Union, said he went to RPI in the 1970s and left after a year. Then we'll teach you engineering.
Students say they appreciate the challenge.
