MAGS4YOU.COM Helps Keep Engineering Students Grounded
Like most college students, the honors level engineers at Polytechnic University feel the pressure to balance education and recreation. After hours of figures and equations, even the brightest young minds need to escape the classroom. But with the strain of advanced classes looming over them, students start to feel guilty for taking these much needed breaks from the syllabi. Luckily for the next generation of Edisons and Marconis, Mags4you.com came up with the solution.
Thanks to a generous donation of science, engineering, and computer magazines, Polytechnic students can close those textbooks without feeling like they’re wasting valuable learning time. A variety of industry publications including “Popular Science,” “Mac Addict,” and “PC World,” provide the honors undergrads escape from the building pressure of course work while still challenging and stimulating them. In addition, they have a continuing source of real world context to apply their class concepts to. The result of combining a solid honors curriculum with cutting edge industry updates is a well rounded class of engineers with rapidly declining blood pressures.
The returning student body was thrilled this semester to see the engineering student center “reprogrammed” with their best interests so obviously in mind. An assortment of engineering related magazines such as “Wired,” “Forbes,” and “Maximum PC” awaited their eager and exhausted minds. However, the real triumph for Mags4you.com was locating publications directed at specific fields of study such as “Electrical Engineering Time.” Professors and students alike can now delve into real world engineering and briefly forget the daunting world of textbooks and midterms.
The university’s benefactor, Mags4you.com, is a small, minority owned magazine subscription company with a history of assisting education. President Dave Honda returned to his roots last year when the company contributed to his alma mater, California State University, Northridge. In addition, Mags4you.com supports education by working with libraries, assisting with fundraisers, and aiding campus organizations. This most recent donation to Polytechnic University’s honors engineering program was another link in a chain of charitable contributions.
In addition to scholastic organizations, Mags4you.com also services a wide base of customers. Whether an individual magazine subscription or a corporate account, the company consistently supplies readers with a variety of publications to choose from. In fact, it was this very repertoire of magazine titles that allowed the company to so specifically equip Polytechnic University with as many as twenty-six issues of over ten periodicals. Despite its continuing success in private subscriptions, representatives at Mags4you.com say they still look forward to seeking out new opportunities to give back to the educational community. But in the mean time, they’re happy just to keep a class of geniuses-in-training from blowing a fuse.
