I'm an Electrical Engineer with >38 years of experience in heavy industry, pretty much all over the world. The toys in my sandbox tend to be Big, Noisy and Expensive :)
Anyone who has studied engineering in the past knows that Physics is included in the first couple of years and then sidelined as our training focuses more on the electrical aspects, of our profession.
I'm here, because in my maturing years I have started to review all the old physics that I have taken as "given", and rediscovering the joy of actually understanding the underlining physics involved.
Having a daughter completing physics at a university level is also an added incentive to get back into the game.
Maybe I can learn something here, Maybe I can give something back, Who Knows.
Cheers
