It's not fair to your other readers and to the world that I'm hogging your insight. And I feel like I'm hogging your blog. Plus, I want to know the same thing flit asked. Sweet, it's a win-win.<br /><br />I don't have to decide on a major or a major set (My school lets students triple major) till my second year. Plus, my first project sounds like a lesson in this. I'm given a real problem and I use my Engineering skills for community service. Comparing your experience and Columbia's Freshmen Engineering design course, it sounds like they are trying to get us to learn the human factor.Aron Sorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327072976517417107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-90557519307824928132009-07-05T18:43:38.446-05:002009-07-05T18:43:38.446-05:00Having worked EVA, the Mother,I know how challengi...Having worked EVA, the Mother,I know how challenging human factors engineering can be.<br /><br />Alright, flit, I'll get yours next since it's related to this one.

I don't think he had a sociology degree, but his job was to design controls for fighter planes that worked for the actual human types that were going to fly it. And to consider all the ways in which those actual guys could mess up even the bet planned systems.<br /><br />You could certainly carve a niche for yourself. The old stereotype about engineers is, in my experience, fairly true--they think technically, and often have to be hit over the head with practical (my father and my son have, however, found much more to talk about as the son has trained himself into that engineer mode).The Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.com
