Blog 19 - Third Answer

1.  What is your EQ?
     My EQ is, "How can electronics best be optimized so that they can run to their full potential?"
2.  What is your third answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
     Having a good grasp on how to maintain a circuit is necessary to keeping an electronic fully functional and running for a long time.
3.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each
     Circuits are in everyday electronics and are the most important in keeping them running. Without circuits electronics couldn't be possible. Circuits are being created and installed in electronic components everyday. Computers, phones, appliances, etc. Circuits are important no matter what and keeping them maintained can keep an electronic component lasting for a while.
4.  What printed source best supports your answer?
     MjLorton(a youtuber) talks about how applying formulas to circuits are very important. Also all of the electronic engineering websites help with the understanding of putting components and circuits together.
5.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.
     Maintaining a well balanced circuit can help with the life span of the electronic component. Keeping a circuit clean and clutter free can make it really fast and last for a number of years without giving up. Knowing the components are the best in this field.

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.

Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

1.  What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?

The three lessons that were most helpful was the Aerospace engineering, Engineering, and Computer programming. They were helpful because they all had something to do with engineering or electronics. I learned quite a bit about the many equations out there in the engineering world.

2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?

    One thing that I learned from senior interviews was that I should be on top of my things. Waiting till the last minute can really affect me in a negative way. Finding a mentor and doing all of my necessary work will be a breeze if I do my assignments on time. 

3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?

     The topic that I'm considering is Electronic Engineering. I choose this topic because it's very interesting to me. The world today is all about technology and how it improves almost everyday. Also I am fascinated on how electronics work.

4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this? (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).

      An EQ that might guide me should go a little something like this: How can we get the best performance out of electronics? 

5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?

       One idea for finding a mentor is through my dad. He is an electronics engineer and knows a lot of information in his field. He has plenty of books varying from physics to computer programming. These are some very important things in the Electronics field.
