1 min read
Summary
In a new video, engineer V. Hunter Adams explains why he loves embedded systems and why others should take up engineering as a career or hobby.
Adams, a lecturer in electrical engineering at Cornell University, highlights the practicality of embedded systems, explaining how they are the right complexity for ensuring that someone can understand a system in its entirety.
He also draws parallels between the constraints of poetry and those of embedded systems, arguing that constraints in the latter actually encourage creativity in engineers.
Furthermore, he highlights how engineering and embedded systems in particular provide an opportunity to learn about other areas, such as biology, physics and even art.
Hackaday encourages readers who have enjoyed the video to check out some of its older articles on hacking and philosophy from 2013.
