    My 10th grade physics teacher.

    The way he explained things made me realize that the world had rules that could be used predict how things worked.

    This blew my mind. I wanted to do something about it. I researched until I figured out mechanical engineering made the most sense to me.

    The best part of my job is the initial stages of a project. You usually get together with your coworkers and brainstorm/bullshit for a couple hours throwing ideas around and shooting them down.

    Also prototyping is really fun. 3D printers have made it super quick to generate a bunch of prototypes and figure out what works, what needs work, and what isn’t with thinking about anymore.

      It was my 11th grade physics teacher and the fact that my highschool had a CAD class as well. I loved them both.

        We had CAD too, but it was AutoCAD so not exactly inspiring. Still, we did that thing where they give you weird geometric blocks and have you to do 3-view and isometric drawings. Very fun stuff.
