What Does It Take to Walk on Water?
|
Everyone knows that the USC Viterbi School’s entering freshmen are smart, but are they capable of performing miracles? Hossein Hashemi’s Freshman Academy was - and did - by finding a way to walk on water for their final project.
They gathered in December at the USC McDonald’s Olympic swimming pool for their final presentations after spending the second half of the semester designing flotation platforms and devices to achieve a seemingly impossible feat.
“One of the greatest things about this class is that it helps you make the huge transition from school to college life,” said Freshman Academy coach Rebecca Sekar, a biomedical engineering major who was in the academy last year. “These students are definitely creative. They put a lot of time and effort into their projects.”
