I loved the fast paced and hands on nature of the program. Going out and doing real market research was an incredible eye-opener and taught me I can do more than I think I can. The instructors Ozzy and Mark were phenomenal as well.— Yuzo Shinoda Makitani , School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science
