“The work that I have done at Northeastern has been very experiential. We develop some theory, but then we can actually test it and see it working. I have been exposed to people from different countries and I have been able to work with people from different backgrounds like robotics, machine learning, and digital processing. I think it is great for engineering.”
—Sara Sanchez Garcia, Spain, College of Engineering graduate student
