Ryan Sochol ENME416 Expecting a B Anonymous 11/12/2024	If you’re not obsessed with CAD and group projects, this class is a hard pass. It’s pretty much CAD 24/7, and you’re constantly in group work mode, so if that’s not your vibe, look elsewhere. But if you’re the type who lives for perfecting details in CAD and thinks team projects are your bread and butter, then you’ll thrive here. Just know what you’re getting into—this isn’t one of those “chill” electives. Exams are online, open note, open book.

Ryan Sochol ENME416 Expecting a C Anonymous 10/04/2024	I had an incident earlier in the semester where I was not allowed to return to the his lab. After discussing the situation with Dr. Sochol, I was impressed by how professionally he handled everything. It was refreshing to experience that level of professionalism, especially knowing that not every professor would have been as capable of managing what, in industry, would be seen as an HR issue. Dr. Sochol's approach made all the difference, and I genuinely appreciated the way he addressed the situation.
Ryan Sochol ENME416 Expecting an A Anonymous 10/04/2024	Professor Sochol is a WONDERFUL professor. He explains the concepts well and does a really good job with his presentations. The animations and videos he creates and uses in his slides are very engaging! The class is easy if you pay attention in class and review for the exams. He likes to have fun with the conent and he makes sure every student that is willing to learn will learn. I would definitely reccomend this class if you need a tech elective or if you like / are interested in 3D printing!!!

After first project presentations were done, we had only 4-5 days to get the second project fully completed as well which was pretty stressful, but other than that, Dr. Sochol's exams were fair (considering that he curves pretty heavily) and the class was pretty enjoyable as well.
Ryan Sochol ENME416 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/02/2021	I loved this class. The projects are quite fun if you have a decent group and the overall workload is not bad at all. The grade scale is curved very heavily because Sochol has very high expectations so expect somewhwere in the 60-70 range to end up being an A. The exams are really tough but open note. Dr. Sochol can be odd sometimes with his expectations, but the course is great for those considering grad school.
