I like rearranging and arranging my theoretical knowledge in the given context to solve problems. I recognise it’s not about the problem, it’s not even about your theoretical knowledge, it’s how you rearrange in for your specific situation to get a certain outcome (solution). This is casually called “application”, but that doesn’t describe the intricacies of my feelings as much the description above does

In raw terms, it’s fascinating, you learn everyday in both the big and small. I like that I’ll get to be part of both cutting edge research, and be a useful cogwheel in a system learning every day a new format of arranging and rearranging my theoretical knowledge. You can learn new things anywhere, if you’re open minded that you can learn new things anywhere. When doing something manual and not cutting edge, for example, you might apply some coding theory to it or “and” or “or” to maximise your productivity- others will just get on with it, but if you’re humble enough to think that you can learn anywhere, then you can learn that you can apply coding principles to manual jobs! With my FESTO pneumonics, whose components are abstract symbols to represent real-life, every-day manufacturing engineering technical problems, I learned about the concept of “and gates” or “or gates”. I’m still thinking about how to incorporate coding logic into my FESTO circuit board; while others will just “get on with it [the manual task]”, I’m trying to learn something new

If I get a chance to work at the cutting edge research, I feel like going to work would energise me. I will think about the sustainable project my company is doing while going home, what I did that day, what I learned, and be happy that I’m working on something revolutionary, which many engineering companies often have. Waking up in the morning for Monday would be a little less of a life-chore

Engineering simply has so many connections between the theories. Hell even in the electronics segment of my engineering course, I was able to spot 10 different connections within its 2.5 pages, and was motivated to research further upon them, even though it wasn’t in the curriculum. Because figuring out all these tiny mini connections is so enriching to me. It’s a dopamine loop of the best kind. Specially knowing that this 3D knowledge that comes from spotting and learning about connections, will actually help on problem solving on a job I think. It will make you more quick on your feet at subtilities (idk how to spell that) on the problem that you have

R&D is fascinating, overall. The idea of being independent to research for something never seen before, or at least never seen before in your company
