I chose the David Hurlbut podcast because electrical engineering is most related to my major and aligns with my career aspirations in computer engineering. Since computer engineering combines electrical engineering and computer science, his work seemed the most relevant to me. I was most curious about how much of his time is spent writing reports and operational procedures versus just receiving them. He also mentioned that engineers have to be extremely meticulous when explaining to other departments that may not have any technical knowledge. I was also surprised at how much detail goes into something as simple as purchasing a power supply, each decision requires exhaustive documentation to ensure accuracy and efficiency. This made me realize the significance of writing in engineering because it helps professionals convey vital information to teams, customers, and users who may not understand technical jargon. To reference an example, in software engineering, programmers do not only rely on technical documentation to navigate coding languages but also need to produce voluminous documentation for the software that they create. Reflecting back, I realize that I could have been more thorough in my own lab reports, as writing is so much a larger component of engineering than I had initially envisioned. Communication is just as important as technical competence, so that designs, processes, and innovations can be comprehended and executed correctly throughout industries. Also listening to podcasts on the train is the best way to get to listen to them.
