Built this and a few other things as well...

Hmm, it doesn't really matter what field you want to go into, what matters is if you have the heart and interest in learning that particular field or subject.  Go for it, being someone new to the field shouldn't restrict your entry into engineering or whatever it may be, even a trade or something else...
