  • Abstract
    You have studied hard, working long hours to conquer mathematics, physics, electronics, and all the other courses required, and now you are an engineer. Congratulations, you have worked hard to reach this new plateau, but the question now is, will you be a chef, cook, or bottle washer? Perhaps the analogy is not too clear, so some additional comments may help you decide on your future path.
