Insights from Senior Projects Meeting: Game Development and Pyramids Analysis

During the September 13, 2009, Senior Projects Meeting, we analyzed a game designed to teach functions in C programming. Additionally, we investigated whether the Pyramids, one of the ancient wonders, exhibit equilateral triangle faces. Participants shared valuable insights, including skills learned in simulation, modeling, and internet software development. The session also covered essential IT career paths, salary considerations, and the importance of understanding business practices and interpersonal communication in a multigenerational workplace. Upcoming sessions will focus on software development reviews.
