Thanks. It is hard.

But I think others have a harder path.

What I don't understand is how some undergraduate engineering students that I have known have found the time to be competitive at a national level. And by being competitive I mean actually earning National Champion Jerseys. I've known three of them that actually earned those jerseys and a couple of others that were close to that level. When did they sleep?

I'm not allowed to say much about there academic records due to Federal Laws, but I think that I can say some things that are public record. Two of them graduated with Highest Honors and I was their faculty mentor for their project. I don't think that the two students know it, but one of the members on their committee was a world class triathlete and he was really interested in their "aero" front brake design.
