Hmmmmm.
You have to be some sort of mental fruit to get involved in anything to do with engineering and full on electronics is some shitty end of some part of one of the shitty sticks.
It is a place for people that care but, unfortunately, it's profit today and can we have a green one tomorrow.
While the rest of the planet is looking for a homeowner loan to pay off all their debts your piece of electronics must do what it says on the box.
Of course if you work for microsoft then there isn't such a problem, you're just part of the party.
Yes, I do mean to be nasty.
If you sit back and look at your circumstances and how you arrived at the place you are and what that place is then you should think many times before you go forth to recommend that others follow your path.
I have an optical mouse for a fiver..... but I don't have one of your cameras. Your website is rubbish. You are definitely not 'Sisters are doing for themselves'.
My big sister did some mechanical/production engineering degree at Durham and ended up with a 1st. (Seriously.... I don't rate her) She was employed by an 'electronics' company for twelve years and the company went toes up. In the meantime they offered her a nervous breakdown and a box of tablets.
She left and did another degree (Seriously I do rate her, sort of, well maybe not) Anyway, she is happy now. It's not engineering but it is science related.
At the end of the day, if you are not bovvered, it is much easier to be not bovvered doing stuff like economics or law because it doesn't matter. Even if you really cared you could get over it because it doesn't matter.
Engineering..... If you are not bovvered then you are not going to stick it and, if you care, it does matter. If you don't then you are not an engineer. If you do then there are layers of shit who did economics, law or failed at engineering who are not reallly bovvered themselves.... as long as you get it right.
Ask your management about legacy issues, are they bovvered?
It's a noble cause but be careful about how you present it.
