It’s seriously cool when you build a circuit that has a clear function. Need a lock for your door? A processor for a custom chip? The logic of making all of that is the same. It’s magical.
Almost the same reason I became a comp Sci major, back in the day. The magic of being able to just tell a computer to make something was intoxicating. When you have time and energy, what’s a project you’d like to do, just for yourself?
What made you excited about your major in the first place?

Open source a ready to fab risc v chip.
But thats more than I can chew ATM.
I’d suggest just taking a crack at it.
I’ve never gone as far as ready to fab, but you’d be surprised at how not-too-complicated it is to implement the 40 or so base RISCV instructions.
