I'm also aboard to record some engineering data while the drillsled is in operation. My goal is to make sure we always know where the ROV is going, and that the ship is never waiting for me to figure out the coordinates of our next destination. I expect to find that I'll have so much work to do for the dives that I won't get to any of the other projects I'm bringing. I decided to become an electrical engineer when I was in the third grade, and I never wavered from that decision. I always felt sorry for people that reach adulthood and still don't know what they want to do with their life.
Engineering is too hard to do casually - it has to be a passion.
