Advisory Project
An Introduction: Why we are doing this
Since we are Freshman, we will do a technology based
project to show and see our passion for our careers, how
we will get there, and to see the differences from what we
think the job has to offer from what it really might. We will also
practice and prove that we are experts that can use
appropriate technology.
