EXTD160: Personal Goals

I've always wanted to work with different tools and equipment but never had the time. During high school, I was busy memorizing formulas, reading textbooks, and studying for exams, but I wanted actual hands-on experiences that would require me to apply my knowledge of various concepts. (I wanted to make stuff.) I realize that EXTD160 is the beginning step, but I hope to learn as much as possible about the engineering process and how to use different tools (laser cutters, Solidworks, 3D printers, and more)and skills (basic programming) so that I could build and learn from the experiences/mistakes and also so that I can take more engineering classes in the future. I'm really excited!
