I have a list of questions I'd like to ask an electrical engineer. Not only is this for an assignment, but I truly would like to see why the responding electrical engineer chose this path. If you would please leave your email after responding to all the questions that would be great. You won't receive any spam, its just what my professor asked for, but if you feel inclined to tell me then its fine. No need for paragraphs, being brief with the answer will do. Thank you.
