'''Problem Statement:''' Tech has many students with ideas, but most of these ideas require software developers (and talented ones) to some degree. Our Computer Science department is mostly theory focused and most students don't do side projects, which causes many students studying CS to not feel comfortable working on industry level projects as undergrads.
'''Solution Overview:''' Solving this issue is going to require several overall strategies. These involve working with the department to have more software engineering projects (and ones with more rigor), working with student organizations to develop more of a "try, fail, try again till you succeed" culture. It's entirely possible to learn everything you need to know on your own, and as a full-time engineer you'll be required to do this. Finally, the last part involves creating coding courses for non-CS majors that help them gain the confidence to go out and learn on their own.
