1.  Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?
     I plan to interview a colleague of my mentor, This person has been in the business longer than my mentor and has a bachelor's degree. 
2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 
     I plan on interviewing my interviewee on the 23rd of January around 1:00.
3.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
     How are electronics components now-a-days getting better? Do we have the components to make an electronic its very best?
4.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
     What activities can produce the best understanding of electronic components?
5.  Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 
      Will there ever be a time that an electronic component can run at its full potential? Will it be near in the future or will it take some time before it gets mastered?

Blog 12 - Holiday Project Update




1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?
    What I did over break for my senior project included a lot of researching on my project. A lot more knowledge on the important aspects of electronic engineering.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?
      I learned that you have to put time and effort into your projects in this field. If you don't then the whole project could be ruined if you didn't put the pieces in the right place. This important thing helped get me more focused on the next aspect of building pieces. I also learned a lot about diodes going on videos and reading articles.
3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
     I plan on interviewing a friendly face in the electronic engineering field. I want to talk to anyone in this field because I want to see what there style is. I want to get a vast knowledge on how many engineers work and how they handle things differently.
