This week two vans full of students came by SightSpeed headquarters in Berkeley, California. They were all students in the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program at North Carolina State, my alma mater.

They had a lot of great questions. The most surprising question was "How did a mechanical engineer end up founding a software company?" The funniest thing about the question wasn't that mechanical engineers can't work in software, but rather the implication that mechanical engineers can't start companies.
For all you Mech Eng students out there, rejoice. It can happen. And when you succeed, you can get a cool shirt like the one in this video blog.
