The end of the semester is approaching and with it a number of deadlines. Time is at a premium for us but this is where Iron Range Engineering students shine. Throughout the semester, we push each other to stay on top of the numerous activities that are assigned to us. The amount of work doesn't change as the deadlines materialize at the beginning of December however the midnight oil is burned and a true engineer is born. One that can handle challenges and deliver quality work even when time is short. This ability to overcome obstacles and seemingly climb mountains translates well to the professional world, where deadlines and supervisors loom. The benefits of seeing and experiencing this lessens the learning curve for a graduating student leaving IRE. Therefore, creating a better engineer more quickly than other more traditional schooling. This time of the year and these challenges are creating an opportunity for us to shine and to become better engineers.
