Um, because, I learned a lot this quarter that great ideas don’t always come from one person… I think that’s one thing that a mechanical engineer really needs to be able to do well is work on a team. Another thing is you have to be able to think abstractly. You can’t always think along the lines of-, of, here is a set of rules or preconceptions and you have to stick to them.
