Hi~Dr. Cohn
To be honest, I am not very interesting in engineering, but I had graduated from 4 years college in electronic engineering. Actually, I don’t knwn how to study in engineering. I really hope that I can have a lot of passion in science and engineering just like you. Can you tell me how I could do that? Thanks a lot.
Daniel
