We are trying to create a community where students can get a head start on their career, with easy access to the tools and skills they will use to be successful in their professional life."
    Initially, studentengineer.com will offer U.S.-based students cutting-edge software technologies at an affordable rate, giving them the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on application experience. In the near future, the site will expand to support engineering students across the globe and provide for many more of the students' daily needs.
