"I graduated from Santa Barbara City College with an associate's degree in computer science in 2019. I received a variety of scholarships due to strong grades throughout college, and I was on the Dean's List for two years. My best grades were in courses involving coding and graphic design, and I enjoyed my architectural drafting classes the most. My early education helped build a strong foundation and professional discipline, allowing me to continue to develop in-demand CAD skills while working for fast-growing engineering companies."

Before your interview, prepare for this question by considering all the classes you've taken and focus on the ones that had the biggest impact on you. Once you've narrowed down the list to a few classes, focus on the one that was most meaningful to you. Once you've identified your favorite class, go into detail about why it was important to you. Show your passion- don't be hesitant to talk about why you liked these classes, even if it's not totally relevant to the role.
