CLC是真正的交易，它的质量超出了我的预期。与大型学院相比，该学院的课堂规模更小，互动性更强。在大型学院，有时你会在一个200个座位的报告厅上课。能和CLC教授们进行一对一的交流真是太棒了，他们有着丰富的生活经验。我的很多朋友都是从大型的四年制大学开始的，他们希望当初能从CLC开始，这样既可以省钱，又可以建立学术基础。
My career goal is to be a hardware design engineer in the semiconductor industry. I want to be at the forefront of advancing computing and finding ways to make computer hardware more energy efficient in large-scale infrastructures.
I’m really excited about an internship at Facebook for summer 2018.我将从事硬件验证工作，这将使我置身于世界上最大的数据中心之一。这对我的简历和在计算机工程领域的职业前景都将是一个巨大的推动。
CLC’s Engineering Pathways program prepared me well for the U of I.The program removes lots of guesswork when planning which transfer courses to take. There are set course lists, and there is a lot of communication between representatives at CLC and their U of I counterparts. They work with you to make sure that your transfer is seamless as possible. Academically, CLC gave me a great foundation; the same amount of rigor as the U of I, and CLC’s competitive tuition removes a big financial stress.
Michelle Leonard, an engineering professor, is excellent because her classes are practical and hands on.她会教你想学的技能，分享对行业的见解，并就如何在实习或全职工作中推销自己给出建议。
工程研究的专题课非常棒，因为我可以选择自己的项目。我试图开发和设计一种可以抑制腕管(重复性压力)综合症的电脑键盘。数学教授Jeff Mudrock教我微积分III和离散数学，他对教学非常有激情，在课堂上散发着这种热情。
在同一组学生中学习，和同一组学生一起上好几节课，这帮助我结交了一些同样激励我的朋友。我也交了很多工程圈之外的朋友，我们一直保持联系。
By joining the Math Club, I made friends and improved my math skills.Our math games were intriguing and engaging, and we learned the beauty of problem solving. That helped me in my math courses.
Other resources, such as the Career and Job Placement Center, are great.The staff helped me develop my resume and find an internship as an engineering technician at a brake and electronics supplier to the automotive industry. On the job, it was awesome, sitting with a team of technicians and engineers, helping analyze the failure of electronic sensors in diesel car engines.
CLC的新增功能和建筑升级是社区值得骄傲的事情。在格雷斯莱克校区，科学与工程大楼为学习提供了一个令人兴奋的新地方。TheBaxter Innovation Labwill give students freedom to create something hands-on. This is absolutely important for students, because at its heart, engineering is problem-solving and experimenting with different designs.
