#25 - A Conversation on Running Student-Led Projects, with Adi Khuller, Omar Alavi & Joe Mayer

This episode features a roundtable discussion between myself, Adi Khuller, Joe Mayer, and Omar Alavi about life as engineering students and how we balanced working on projects and coursework at ASU. This diverts from my usual content on space mission engineering, but it is a topic I feel is important to focus on, as this is something that many students struggle with on some level. Given that, if you’re a student, I hope you enjoy this conversation and that it helps you or gives you comfort in some way.Timestamps:0:00 - Episode Intro3:18 - How did you get involved in student orgs21:47 - Nerves joining projects as a freshman and not having taken many courses35:18 - Importance of classes & GPA vs projects 39:29 - Foresight & prioritization58:47 - The importance of sleep 1:03:36 - How the PPT project schedule was made around school schedules 1:13:43 - Asking for help & finding resources 1:17:39 - Lessons learned on meeting structures 1:31:39 - Ending comments 1:34:50 - Episode outro The ONE Thing by Gary Keller: https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776
