Review Your Program
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I really enjoyed the Toll visit, but would have loved to switch it around so we were able to see the Yangshan Port. I also thought the ASUS and EATON tours were really cool because we got to see people working and processes. I wish we got more operations and supply chain insight with some of the other companies like Lenovo. |
