1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
           I do and I don't have a mentor at the moment. I'm currently looking for a mentor, while my dad is there on the side teaching me a little bit.  I haven't scheduled the interview yet, because of my little dilemma. 

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons. 
         The area that I find more promising is the controller engineer in this field. I say this because it talks about the major job of being an electronics engineer. The modeling of dynamic systems and the design of controllers using electrical circuits, digital signal processors, and micro controllers are all explained in my research. 
 
3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?
             I think that books on the topic could really help me a lot. I could acquire them from libraries or from people who have books on my topic.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
              Possible EQ: What is the most effective way to design, construct and test an electronic                                                 product?

1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?  

       What worked well for me this semester is the amount of information I have gathered. There is a ton of information out there that has helped me with my research checks. The interview has made a positive experience because it shows that there are a vast amounts of people out there working in this field. Neighbors, cousins and friends can be a potential important interviewee.

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

        What I'm finding difficult is trying to contact people. I can adapt by making phone calls and emails to people who work in this field. The senior team might be able to help if they know anyone in the field. A phone number or an email would work just fine.
