I've heard of other programs like this but most of them are all geared toward the engineers
or it's the final year of the engineer that you finally get to build a project
some culmination for all your work we've been doing that the whole four years
that we've been here and it really does make for an incredible learning environment
The professors are very one on one with the students and individualize with us
it's more of a friendship with the teachers instead of just a professor
in a regular lecture hall or something it's more one on one
You got your different majors in CASA I'm in EST and then there's like four areas of study
that go into that your biomedical networking communications and industrial electronics technology
I plan to work in a dental office as a dental hygienist
Southern was the only dental hygiene school in Illinois that has a bachelor's degree
in dental hygiene and we perform cleanings on children at schools, visit nursing homes
and perform cleanings there We just get alot of experience outside of school
to get us ready for the real world
I have a really good time with this especially when we do work in the 737
Our professors and instructors push us to get things going like this plane we pretty much
got it running a couple of years ago and now its pretty much fully operational Its great
and you learn so much you get a lot of hands on experience working on live aircraft like this
The glass cockpit is two 15 inch screens those screens provide you with all the information
that each gauge used to provide and it provides it in one centralized location
besides that it also provides a moving map like GPS type display
I would definitely say it’s a very good option they are providing us now
The club is an organization of students that kind of wanted to go beyond the classroom
The whole point of it was you know this is what we do with what we learn every concept
that they picked up in all their classes digital analog discreet everything they applied in
in the dawgzooka project They started looking around at parts they asked the SIU Police
department they donated several old bomb disposal chassis that they could build on
and these principles they apply is what culminates into that final product
it’s great just build of everything that you learn
SIU is one of the only state schools that offers this program
that’s one of the main reasons is because it is a bachelors degree program
and it’s got the option for three different specializations
you’ve got CTMRI ultrasound and then you’ve got radiation therapy
I see it as the ability to pursue different job opportunities and also job security
mostly we’r e all really excited about clinicals because you don’t have to take any classes
when your doing it and it’s just kind of a real relief to be out working rather than
taking classes all the time
That second semester when you got out to clinics and you actually had a real patient
you had real life scenarios and your working with real people that were trained to do the same
thing and you’re their as a student but your being treated essentially as an equal
and you get that real life experience and it just adds to your education
