Day 21 - Alex's Journal

Today is our final day of internship. I have learned so much over the past few weeks. First of all, I learned a great deal about circuits. This year in my physics class we learned the basics of making circuits: using a breadboard, using resistors, wiring in parallel, etc. Through this internship I have learned much more: using capacitors, using amplifiers, using different types of power sources, and more. I also learned a lot about programming. Not only did I learn two new programming languages, Spin and Assembly, but I learned how to use these languages effectively and how to properly debug them. Lastly, I learned what it is like to be an engineer. It requires teamwork, patience, and a strong desire to complete projects to the best of your ability.
