Day 0

Hello, this is Michelle Sit.  I am currently a Junior at Wellesley College and am here to document my experiences throughout ENGR160: Fundamentals of Engineering at Wellesley.  Although I am a Psychology major, I'm hoping to study more engineering in the future at MIT.  Last year, I enrolled in CS111 to test drive my interest in Computer Science.  It has since revealed to be an imperfect match for my interests.  As such, I am now trying out my interest in engineering and am enrolled in CS220 (Human-Computer Interaction) which I think is a much better fit.  This past winter break, I took a Mechanical Engineering class at MIT called Designing for People which focused less on the mathematical and scientific approach to engineering and instead focused on product design and user experience.  I thoroughly enjoyed that course so, this field appears to very interesting and I am very excited to be learning more about it.  I hope ENGR160 will help provide a more comprehensive background of engineering and solidify my interest in engineering.

Interesting fact: I have 5 budgies at home and two cockatiels.  I miss them very much.
