This is cool...I had no idea people didn't like microcontroller classes. At my school, "Principles of Engineering" (microcontrollers + mechE) is almost universally loved and a whole lot of fun.

It seems that we learn in class a lot like how you originally did. Agreed that it is way better and more fun.

I've heard a lot of good things about Olin and have always been impressed by it's grads. Seems like they are doing it right. I get the impression it's still a smaller school, is that true?

Half our founding team is from olin, they came out of college waaaaay more prepared for a startup than I did out of a UC. They are doing it right.
