The flier outside of the other instructor’s door is something that I had noticed before, and I thought about the prospect off-and-on through out the summer. The more that I thought about it, the more that I liked the idea of combining Psychology with Engineering.

As it turns out, there’s an entire area of employment and study in this area. They produce ergonomic products, products for disabled persons, and all manner of other stuff. Very scientific term there, “stuff”. For example, through out the summer I have been rolling around how one could use psychology to increase the performance and safe behavior of the driver behind the wheel of a car.

I have a mind that loves creating things though, so I’ve also mentally sketched out a design for an air conditioner who’s sole purpose is to reduce the temperature of a parked car on a hot summer’s day without needing the car to be turned on. Don’t ya hate getting into that oven? Me too. This has nothing to do with psychology, but my idea could do something about this problem.

Anyway, I digress.

So now I’m in an upbeat mood. My summer was spent brooding over what I should do with my major. Should I change it? Should I inquire about switching my major to my minor and then major in something else (I don’t know if that’s even possible)? If this holds up, though, I’ll have a focus within the field that I’ve already put so much work.

Sweet.
