Engineering classes go over theory and the labs are pretty dry. The actual application and hands on building is the best teacher and experience in school/life.
I don’t know if this was a competition or the club’s goal, but bravo on the launch and breaking the record!
I know I mentioned this before, but one thing I go over when hiring a new engineer in our group is what type extra-circular activities or hobbies do they do. If they work on cars, or do stuff with Arduinos, or wood working (very detailed people), that show that they like what they do and are good at troubleshooting. SpaceX better hire these students!
