I am now in my last semester at the U of I and will be graduating with highest honors. I have never felt I was hurt by taking a C&M class versus a traditional style class. On the contrary, I think it has helped me immensely. While other Electrical and Computer Engineering students were getting bogged down in math, I was able to apply my Mathematica knowledge and C&M skills to concentrate my attention to understanding the core Electrical and Computer Engineering issues.
