Why did you choose CAAD at ��Ҵ�ýapp?

I have always had an interest in building and designing things. After getting my associate's degree in drafting and design at Holmes Community College, it furthered my interest in construction and the design process. Mississippi State has always been part of my college plan, so whenever I found out about the Building Construction Science major, I knew that is where I would want to end up.
