Jessica Stieglitz: Thoughts from WE12

I learned, via volunteering, how to make a product you’re producing the best it can be depending on whether you are aiming for long term customers or short term customers, different profit margins, and dependability. Over half of the process was planning, research, analysis, and discussion, and the rest of it had to do with engineering.

I also went to a workshop about working in a global group, which was mostly aiming at professional level members, but was also really relevant to working in groups for classes here at RPI. Most of it was communication and learning the culture of your group members, to avoid awkward circumstances.
