How can Reverse Engineering create better Problem Solving?

Reverse engineering is the process of taking something apart in order to gain knowledge of how it works. This idea can be applied to a lot of things, especially when it comes to the thinking process. One effective way to work out situations is to dissect a problem and get to the root of it. That is sort of like reverse engineering, because you are taking apart the situation in order to understand it better. Thinking like that can help in becoming a better engineer by using this process to see and comprehend a mechanism's composition and function. If you can see the inner-workings of the object, you can recreate it with more ease and less confusion.

My Plans for the Future

I want to major in Linguistics, since language interests me deeply. Also knowledge in linguistics is very versatile and can be combined with many other fields for useful jobs. Especially technology related jobs. 
Therefore, a large option on my radar is to work with artificial intelligence or something involving voice recognition/translation.
