02Two non-graded yes/no response questions for scholarship purposes: Have you participated in FIRST Robotics? Yes/No Do you have a demonstrated interest in entrepreneurship (e.g., have you started a business or been self-employed)? Yes/No
03As an applicant to Software Engineering, you are required to demonstrate that you have experience and interest in computer programming. For every programming language in which you have experience, list the language, number of months experience you have in using the language (not how long you have known it) and capacity in which you used the language (e.g., courses completed, work experience, self-education). (150-word limit, 5-minute time limit)
