What Students are Saying
Students who enter and graduate from the T&M Program are among
the best at the University of Illinois. It is not surprising that they achieve
excellence in many of the things they do. Through its academic
and extracurricular components, the T&M Program seeks to provide these
students with knowledge and experience that will help them achieve at an even higher
level.
Here is what current
and former students are saying about the influence the program has had on their
lives and careers.
"Being a part of the T&M
Program has impacted my career more than any other aspect of my college education."
T&M Student
"The T&M Program is one of the greatest pieces of the university
that I have experienced. The organization is first class, the faculty are outstanding,
the projects are awesome, and the students are the best I have ever had the
pleasure with which to work. The program has opened my eyes to the world and
has drastically shaped my career goals. The decision to become part of the
T&M family was a great one."
T&M Student
"The T&M
Program gave me a working background in business fields that I would not
have gotten in my typical
engineering
curriculum. I use this
knowledge - in accounting, finance, and marketing - to better align my goals
with and fulfill my responsibilities to clients and subcontractors."
T&M Graduate
"Working
with technology driven clients, knowing the basic terminology for engineering
and technological concepts,
having
experience working with
people with non-business backgrounds…
T&M gave me a competitive advantage against other business people with
similar backgrounds - it's a way to differentiate."
T&M Graduate
"The
experience on the capstone project indirectly led to employment with the
project sponsor. The intense team experience
was
most valuable - in
learning about dealing with people and working toward a common goal with different
motivations. It was not like anything else in my undergrad career."
T&M Graduate
"The T&M
Program was the best part of my academic experience at UIUC. It prepared
me for working in a team environment
and
finding solutions to new/uncommon
problems. I think the experiences I had in the Program really set me apart
from the crowd."
