The community has provided me the opportunity to be informed about the engineering cultures and practices of many regions of the world and has shown me that I don't know nearly enough about any one of them. i enjoyed the presentations on the European and Middle Eastern regions the most. European because I aspire to visit Germany and Italy some day to study, or for a project or just for tourism and it gave me an idea of what I might expect. Middle Eastern because although that's not where I'm from, it is a region where I have lived for most of my life and it was interesting to see what other people had to say about the region.
Over the course of this semester I'm sure I have retained countless other lessons from GELC that will help me in a major way with the rest of my engineering education.

After thinking over this, I have concluded that I have had much the same experience as you, NotTyler. When I was choosing learning communities, I wasn't really sure what they were all about, what we would do in them, and how they would benefit us. In truth, I was even skeptical of this class - Engineering 103 - itself, because I wasn't sure what purpose it would serve in my education. But over the last couple of months, I have come to realize that enrolling in the Global Engineering Learning community is one of the best decisions I have made as a college student. Not only does the community give me a common group of people to study with, but also provides me with a lot of information about foreign countries, which I absolutely love. Moreover, I plan to study abroad sometime during college, and the global engineering learning community has provided me with a lot of information about Purdue's study abroad programs.
