The teachers in my engineering classes were phenomenal. They would make sure every single student in that class was on board with it before moving on to the next topic. We did a lot of interesting projects like creating a turbine with a 3D printer. The hands-on activities made it easier for me to learn a lot of things, and I always felt I could go up to the teachers and talk to them and ask them questions.
