A very brief view into my time at CUICAR - one of a kind learning environment

I opted here to join the Deep Orange program. It is one-of-a-kind. The admission process is standard: GRE and TOEFL with your latest Curriculum Vitae, transcripts, letters of recommendation (4, min 3) and statement of purpose.

There are 33 credits currently for the MS program. The Deep Orange project focuses on work with sponsors and industry to address a vehicle prototype and its requirements that the sponsor of the projects sets up. This program focuses on end-to-end implementation and development of a prototype vehicle from the ground up. Refer to the Deep Orange website for more details. The faculty to student ratio is approximately 1:4 to 1:7, due to Covid.
