I think it's unique to hear from professors about how their students are able to apply what they learn in CAD to other processing methods. As a graduate of the Plastic Engineering technology program at Pittsburg State University, it would be awesome for you to chat with a professor of Pitt State on MMT chats and hear their thoughts as well.
I admire your content Christina!
