I am currently in an introductory engineering class and I was tasked to interview an electrical engineer that is currently working in the field. I have contacted several major companies but have either not recieved a reply or was told I need to know the name of the engineer before I can get in contact with one. Since I was calling to meet an engineer I didn't know any of their names; therefore, I was wondering if any engineers on this forum would be so kind as to help me out. My name is Bruce Goveia and you can either just reply to this post with the information below, e-mail me at <snip> Thanks a lot.
