## Software engineering was not a class that I was strongly looking forward to, or was that interested in. It was/still kindda is a prereq for a class that I am interested in tho. I think the main thing that I was interested in was learning javascript and seeing how it can be used to create software, but that was about it. I didn’t really put any more thought into this class. ### This might have been due to all the frustration with taking this class. I was supposed to have graduated last semseter, but I was unable to get into this class. Before covid became a big problem, I went in to talk to an advisor and I was told that I need to take ICS 314 because it was a prereq for ICS 435. This apparently seems to have changed sometime last semester, but due to problems with Covid, a lot of things were delayed in coming out. So in the end, the last class I need to take will be ICS 435 and I will end up having to wait an extra year to take it because of problems registering for ICS 314.
But I feel like I’m slowly warming up to the class, I’m enjoying the way its set up and how WODs are used. After dealing with the first week of class, I think the skills I’m interestied in developing is the mindset needed to solve problems. When I think about engineering, I feel the main skill needed it the ability to problem-solve. To take what you know and be able to look at the problem from different angles to find a useful solution. The WODs in this class is basicly this….with a time limit. I also am looking forward to working on the project towards the end of the semester. I feel like working in a team to complete an ICS project would also be interesting. Learning how to work together and apply what we have learned throughout the semester sounds like an interesting experience. I just overall want to get the most that I can out of this class, learn the most that I can and experience the most that I can while in this class. It will make my graduation delay more worth while.
