The M.Eng. project is extremely beneficial since it mimics the real world and allows us to communicate with industry professionals and learn from them. During my job interviews, the employers seemed to be impressed by the scale of my projects. I feel more confident about myself going into the workplace. This experience is also a huge plus on my resume.
