The light emitting diode experiment, involved creating a loop with batteries, circuit board and resistor to lower the volts to not burn out the light diode. It was a fairly simple experiment, like the first one, that taught me about precision and knowledge. With elementary knowledge gained from measuring resistors, converting amps and working with circuit boards I was able to get results quicker in experiment #2. Seeing the diode light up also gave me a sense of accomplishment and excitement of seeing what I had done with fellow team members.
To be a very good engineer, one has to acquire substantial knowledge and also be able to apply it. Knowing how to use tools and having an understanding of what you are working on is important in the goal of accomplishing something. I can see why engineers like to experiment so much. Unlike HR which can work in abstract and unproven ideas, engineers like to test out theories and ideas to prove them right or wrong and to make them work.
