Basically the title. I'm stressed out of my mind with finals and a billion reports go finish and I can't sleep. Talk to me Lemmy. I'm sad and stressed.

Oh. I'm 6/10 done if that helps.

What got you interested in engineering?

Also, do you have any projects that you are particularly proud of? It doesn't have to be anything grand. Small projects count.

What got you interested in engineering?

I needed a scholarship to get back to school. My grades were high enough to get one for engineering in a good school. But not to get the major I actually wanted at the time. So I got the nearest thing.

Having that said. Knowning what I know now I'd have gone directly to electronics eng. Its one of those things. Every day I wake up feeling that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

The things I made I like the most aren't eng related so far. Had a graphs and algorithms class and I put it to use in games making games around pathfinding concepts. Like mazing tower defenses. There's one specifically that I'm still gonna finish it cause I swear. It looked good and felt fun.

Other than that for control currently doing cars football. But it's early stages still. But I think it's gonna come out fun.
