So, when did you know you were going to be an engineer? Was it your obsession with Legos? Was it because you wanted to know how everything worked? Was it because you were a whiz at Math and Science? Was it because you kept deconstructing and reconstructing things? Was it that chemistry set you got for Christmas—or that Science fair you won?
The catalyst for me was at about 9 years old when my father made a very simple circuit with a switch, lamp and battery, all mounted on an ornate piece of wood.
