jsu14-130xThe Mt Olive Internet Club called “The Widgets” visited Jackson State University Engineering. We were hosted by Computer Engineering Professor, Dr Ali.  Dr Ali showed us some of the multi-media lecture room with electronic chalk boards as well as many of the research labs where students worked on computer research projects, robotics projects and aerospace projects. Dr Ali stressed many times the importance of learning mathematics in high school by working all available problems at the end of each chapter.  He said that students that enter JSU Engineering with a strong math knowledge do very well.   After the tour of the Engineering building we walked the campus and was greeted by a student tennis player that was also the Universities Student Ambassador so she gave us an interesting walking tour.  On our way home we stopped by the home and R.E.A.L. Christian Foundation office, of Drs Dolphus and Rosie Weary, one of our supporting foundations. They were pleased to see such a large group attend the field trip.  For a complete set of pictures of our field trip click HERE.
