Welcome back to another installment of our favorite student-focused series, This Viterbi Life! Tune in to hear about one of the most unique classes all freshmen on campus take, Freshman Academy. Freshman Academy, or ENGR-102, is lead by upperclassmen students, known as Academy Coaches, along with a Viterbi professor-- the class is intended to introduce freshmen to the world of engineering through projects, lectures and activities across all disciplines. Tune in for a great episode by Luz, one of our VSAs and an Academy coach herself!
