Why did you choose to take the course you did?
Because I wanted to take BS Marine Engineering, but it is too expensive so I decided to take a more affordable course instead.
What was the most interesting thing about the course?
Things can be pretty fast-paced, so you always have to be focused.
What advice can you give to incoming students who are thinking of taking the same course you did?
Try to learn as much as you can and take everything you do seriously.
What are the things you learned from the course that have proven to be very useful in your work?
How to do things sytematically.
Do you think you chose the right course?
Yes. A lot of people can’t afford a five-year engineering course, so Marine Electricity NC II, even if it’s a short-term course, can be a big help for those people who want to achieve their dreams but do not have the financial means.
