aha....software engineering. I still remember the days when I interned with Evans & Sutherland.

Utah turns out to also have features in common with other places involved in the super-sector: local universities that graduate a lot of S.T.E.M. students (most notably, Brigham Young University);
So, a sincere question: is BYU really known much more for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) graduates than the U? I'm not gonna lie. That surprised me a bit that they got the mention. At worst, I would have figured it was a push between the two schools, but in all of my Ute exceptional-ism bias, I thought Utah had the Y pretty well owned in those categories.

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
A short video demo of a game created by a couple of students in the U of U's Game Design program. It was a Student Showcase winner at the 2014 Independent Game Festival awards. It is a two player cooperative game where one player has the top down map view and helps the other player who is running around in 3D. This video shows the two views side by side under the shots of the players.
