My undergraduate major is measurement, and I have spent the last three years learning about optics, mechanics, electric circuits, and coding. Among those courses, and following three-years of training including pieces of research and coursework, I have realized that I am enamored with coding the most. First of all, I enjoy the process of coding and verifying and adjusting the program. Taking my digital signal processor coursework as an example, after I finished writing the code, it appeared that
