The ME Program at Western Carolina University is exactly what I have been waiting for!  My entire education career has been based on lectures, exams and trying to excel at a standardized level; to which I am assuming that most of you have experienced the same.  I have always been the type of person who learns more with a hands-on approach.  It seems so much more enticing and it actually allows us to engage ourselves on a deeper level, rather than just trying to memorize information that is being jammed into our brains.
