But I don't think the OP's question, or the way I use my own lab, has much to do with research. When I was an employer I wasn't looking for scientific researchers. Instead, I was looking for design engineers who weren't afraid to touch a soldering iron or an oscilloscope, and were familiar with real-world practices. A home lab can help demonstrate that. More importantly, a home lab suggests that the person has a true enthusiasm and knack for the field -- those are the people I want to work with. And of course, most of my fellow engineers never picked up a soldering iron at work. But they could if they had to. |
