Michael Wagenschein

At some point I realized my personal passion is Electrical Engineering and Science. I am passionate about this field because the rules, once understood, never change. For example, if you want to achieve mechanical movement with electrical power, you must understand the rules of magnetic fields … because magnetic fields follow the same rules – all the time.
