Accountant goes engineering

If anyone thinks that I'm in some kind of a holiday here - think again. I've never seen this motivated students and I'm spending a lot a lo a lot of time at the university, like today 12 hours. Every course has a groupwork, and the topics are like "invent a new business idea" or "take an existing interactive system and propose improvements or an alternative design". Plus one project that has something to do with information systems. I'm an accountant for god's sake, I'm really bad with IT!!
