When asked about applying knowledge that he gained while in college, Andrew believes that his most valuable courses during college were the freshman year design project and his senior year capstone. These IBE projects were his most beneficial academic experiences, and he believes that they are applicable to real life problem solving which he carried with him to internships and his current job.

There were multiple instances during Alisa's time at OSU where she felt she was really applying the skills developed through IBE. However, she notes that the mindset she gained through IBE was as valuable as the hard skills. Specifically, in her consulting internships, she felt she was “approaching complex problems from a more creative mindset.”
Participating in IBE has been one of the most beneficial experiences I have had at Ohio State. The opportunity to see how business and engineering are interconnected provided me with a depth and breadth of knowledge that will serve as a foundation for future success in business.

IBE has not only driven me to succeed academically, but has also provided me with some of my closest friends and mentors. The interdisciplinary approach to learning has given me a unique perspective that I love and will carry throughout my career.
