Hi everyone!
I didn't decide to be an engineer until my senior year of high school. Science and math were always my favorite subjects, but I didn't really begin seriously considering what my major would be until I began applying to colleges over the summer of senior year. Since I preferred the more applied parts of science and math (rather than the theoretical), I decided to apply to mostly engineering schools.
As for a research update, I have been running a lot of tests on my lubricant filtration test stand here at MSOE these past few weeks. Though I haven't quite put my finger on it yet, I think I am very close to solving the research problem presented to me seven weeks ago. My project is to determine why a return line filter generated more static electric charge than a similar tank mounted filter. After my most recent rounds of testing, I believe that the difference in charge generation is caused by the different types of filter bowl materials and layouts.
