This class wasn't really even a class; it was just the senior design project.

Even if you have a solid group and team leader, the project is pretty bad. The first few lectures were okay, but most weren’t helpful. Unfortunately, Guio did most of the lecturing, and he’s not that engaging. Even though Li is far better at lecturing than Guio, his lectures weren’t that helpful either. You can tell that neither of them have any idea what they’re talking about, since they’re academia guys talking about industry, and even worse, industry that has nothing to do with their research.

The project is simply using computer software to design a plant and writing a report. You kind-of learn design. Most of the learning is project management, typing a report, and learning that you’re definitely not qualified to design a plant. And hope your group actually is willing to work.

Guio and Li were great dudes, but they shouldn’t be teaching this class. Someone from industry should be teaching this, not two professors who only do research on the microscopic and nanoscopic level.
