The image above represents a lab that I did in my Fundamentals of Engineering course.  The lab was particularly impactful to me because it guided me towards what I think my future major will be.  In FE, we explore a different major in each lab to give first year pre-engineering students an idea of many different disciplines and help them choose one to pursue.  Prior to this lab, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to stay in engineering, but after learning what Integrated Systems Engineering (ISE) entails, I think it’s something I will enjoy.  The objective of ISE majors is to optimize efficiency.  It’s a lot of problem solving and logical thinking, which are the skills I possess and tasks I enjoy completing.  I was feeling very overwhelmed by the options engineers have and the new skills I needed to learn to be one at the beginning of the semester, but I felt more at peace after this lab.  Obviously a single lab will not make or break my future, but just knowing there was something out there I was interested in doing as a career was a reassuring thought.  I am excited to take more classes in ISE and explore career options.
