Awesome first essay, Tiff! I also use my engineering training to reflect and problem-solve in my everyday life (consciously, but probably lots subconsciously), and I am looking forward to contemplate this further (reflect about how I reflect/think... meta-reflection?) from learning from this essay series.
In both engineering and non-engineering, a challenge is deciding which conditions can be assumed to be ideal and which are variables to be determined in the solving. It can be overwhelming, but I find it helpful starting from the simplest possible framework, then re-iterating and adding on more unknowns/non-idealities in each iteration.
thank you so much!! :) the art of deciding what can be assumed vs. not is so tricky and totally feel you on starting simple and then continually iterating from there!
Keep going these thoughts are amazing :)
ahhh thank you so much!! and thank you for reading :)
a beautifully-written essay
thank you so much :)
