Why I'm interested in IEOR 190G

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I am interested in the mobile space, having worked with two mobile companies over the past two years. I feel that knowledge of the engineering side of patents will be a useful skill for me to have throughout my career, and would like to gain the skills to analyze patents and help companies through the patent process from an engineering perspective. Additionally, I have heard that this class is interesting and engaging, and as I am in my last semester at Cal, I am focusing on courses that interest me both intellectually as well as professionally.
