Becoming a Better Engineer, Part Three
That simple question sparked the idea behind building a human-machine interface (HMI) that was not only functional, but intuitive, reducing wasted time and operator error, as well as minimizing the potential for damage.
Becoming a Better Engineer, Part Two
Real world problems are messier than academic exercises. This experience stood in sharp contrast to my university coursework, where project requirements are typically predefined and static. In the real world, I learned, projects are anything but fixed.
Becoming a Better Engineer, Part One
I had freedom to design and build a human-machine interface (HMI) to monitor and automate the vacuum management process. This project became my gateway into physical computing.
