25. RAS: Goals
Develop practical engineering skills through real-world application in a competitive environment.
Develop Hard Engineering Skills. Word problems in class are meh and teach you basic concepts.
Develop Soft Skills. Surprisingly, in real life your communication skills are more valuable than your hard skills.

26. RAS: Other
Employers love this. Engineering Students part of a team outdo their peers who just study and go home. They choose a 3.4 GPA +RAS student over a 4.0 GPA + nothing student. For instance, this year we have members doing internships at:
Southwest Research Institute: $22/hr (San Antonio, TX)
Raytheon: $22/hr (Dallas, TX)
Aerospace Corporation: $24/hr (San Jose, California)
CPS: $17/hr (San Antonio, TX)
