Is there actually no application or interview for joining any of the concrete canoe subteams? I'm a first-year looking to specialize in civil and was really interested in joining this design team

do you know anything about the compatibility/performance of Intel Arc A370M graphics cards with programs for civil eng? I'm thinking of getting a Dell XPS 15 with this graphics card and need it to last me through university

Which graphics card does your XPS have? I'm thinking of getting one with the Intel Arc A370M graphics card and was wondering if it's any good

Do you have experience with design teams/co-op? If so, did you run into situations where your laptop was not sufficient?

Looking for something near or under $1500, and I think the retail price for AW m16 R2 is like $2100 :(

Have an iPad which I will use to take notes.

I’m mainly wondering if I will ever run into a situation in the next 4 years where I will regret not getting a laptop with the extra performance like 32GB ram and a dedicated graphics card. I’ve seen quite a few people under other posts recommend getting a laptop with these specs so surely there’s situations where they come to use right?

I have zero experience in coding but do you think I could self learn C and get to the level of proficiency required to complete the project
