SWEet Wisdom April 2020: Engineering Resources

Happy Spring! A lot has changed in the last month, and the majority of us are adjusting to attending classes online, catching up with friends and family over video and spending lots of time at home. If you’ve found you have more free time in these last few weeks, we’re here with some suggestions for how to fill it! We’ve asked our professional and collegiate SWE members to recommend some of their favorite online and print resources related to engineering. We hope you find something that can help you fill some of your time and further spark your interest in is computer science engineering!
