      hi osama.
      The good thing about being an engineer in research is that you can make mistakes or get things wrong – quite often it’s by getting things wrong that we find the right answers and solutions.
      I have previously broken a machine I was running a test on – but it was a new study that we didn’t know what would happen – we got it fixed and it was fine. I think the important thing is to always be honest – if you make a mistake and admit it/tell the people who need to know, that’s always better than trying to hide it or sort it out yourself!
