Plog Reflection

Intro:
I tend to analyze things. Which seems like a strange way to open an essay, but its something that is relevant and I believe important to state. I am engineering minded- often I get lost in my mind thinking of the intricacies or concepts of some random object. So I often pick up on small details in media, but am also able to zoom out and view the big picture. When I view a game like Skyrim, I can't help but pick apart the subtle intricacies and mechanisms at work within the game. What small things affect our experiences and make the game how it is? And how do these concepts play into the bigger goal that is the game and its world as a whole? And how are these skills relevant to today's digital landscape?
Conclusion:
These skills in analysis are incredibly relevant for engineering, as I have shown. Keeping a detailed log of your weekly thoughts and analysis is not just helpful for a final design brief, but essential to ensure you are thoroughly following the design process. By continuously keeping track of all the minutiae of a project or interaction, you can better sort it, categorize it, and learn from it. Yet the minutiae of a project are not all that matters; indeed, it is often how these small facets add up to a larger whole that prove most important in the field of Engineering. This Plog project has allowed me to build an ability for digital, not just physical, analysis and reflection- something undoubtedly relevant when the majority of large Aerospace projects use piles upon piles of code and advanced simulation systems to build a new system or analyze and refurbish an old one.
