How do C&M students do in follow-up math, science or engineering courses?
Follow-up studies done by the UIUC College of Engineering departments at Illinois indicate that former C&M students are fully competitive in these courses. Many C&M students have gone onto graduate school in engineering and science (Illinois, Cal Tech, MIT, Cal-Berkeley, Texas, Minnesota, etc). Others are in medical schools. Many have excellent jobs in the business world (Intel, Caterpillar, Pixar, Ford, Motorola, Wolfram Research, etc). Others are teaching in high school. Many C&M students have opted to go on to minor in mathematics thanks to their early C&M experience.
Comments from Students
I am now in my last semester at the U of I and will be graduating with highest honors. I have never felt I was hurt by taking a C&M class versus a traditional style class. On the contrary, I think it has helped me immensely. While other Electrical and Computer Engineering students were getting bogged down in math, I was able to apply my Mathematica knowledge and C&M skills to concentrate my attention to understanding the core Electrical and Computer Engineering issues.
