Help please ! About electrical Engineering?

shama asked:


hello!
i need the help of electrical engineers! i have to choose a major by the end of this week & i’m sooooo confused between chemical & electrical engineering! i read the course descriptions of each major and i’m liking electrical a lot except that involves lots of computer stuff! lots of courses seem very technical.. the physics related courses i find VERY interesting! they’re what made me think about choosing this major in the first place! I’m not so sure i like thermodynamics a lot & that’s why I’m not so sure about chemical engineering..
+ i really want to know what electrical engineers can do after graduation ( other than computer stuff..what else is there? )

How distorted is my view of engineering/engineers? ?

EM POWERED asked:


I’m a senior in high school and I never considered engineering until this year. I’ve realized that I need a skill. I’ve gradually realized that engineering fits the bill - really, I’ve come to understand that society would be so utterly screwed without engineers.

But I think I may have an interest in it for the wrong reasons. First of all, I have a terrible foundation in the math and sciences. I have above average skills, but I took the wrong class set, so I’ll be rather behind once I get into college. And second, I really don’t like the math and sciences. I think I’ve done decently in high school because I’m willing to put some effort in it. So please comment on my assertion - is there a certain point you reach in your education where you can only master the material if you have the passion and interest in it (actually, this is just specifically about engineering)?

I’m also under the impression that engineering is very practical skill. For example, as an electrical engineer, I think you would be able to fix the circuitry in your computer if it malfunctions. Is true only to a certain extent? How much do engineers really learn how to do? I know that a single engineer is not responsible for a single warhead - it requires control engineering, mechanical engineering, etc… but how much can you expect to learn as an individual?

“Anything practical you learn will be obsolete before you use it, except the complex math, which you will never use. ”

This is what I’ve heard. That’s pretty disheartening. Can anybody tell me how true this is? … I’m guessing that engineering is a profession that requires constant education to stay updated. If I already dislike the material so much, I don’t know if I want to do a career that just keeps sending it my way. I’d really like a job where I learn a skill and just use it the same way until I retire (yes, I’m boring).

“Managers, not engineers, rule the world.”

This is also kind of sad. I highly admire their engineers for their work - really what they do is so vital to our society’s lifeline. I don’t know how true this is, but it does seem that engineers don’t get the credit they deserve (what about the money? some managers make bank…for what?). Anybody want to comment?

“You consider ANY non-engineering course “easy”. ”

I feel this is very true. Engineers are extremely intelligent people. I doubt that it is for me, but this quote alone makes me feel I’m not really learning anything and that I’m not challenging myself in college unless I study engineering. I’ve applied myself in high school and I really like I’m throwing away an investment by not studying engineering… but still.

Electrical Engineering/Finance double major?

ArmedSquirrel asked:


I know that this sounds like a conflict of interest, but I am really interested in both fields. I mapped out both degree requirements, and I found out that I can graduate in 4 1/2 years.

I would like to minor in Finance, but Penn State doesn’t allow that. They have some joke of a minor called Business and the Liberal Arts, but there’s not much finance in that.

If I did do this double major, I’d have on average 18 credits a semester with 3 courses for engineering and 3 courses for finance. I know that engineering is a lot of work. However, with 3 engineering courses a semester, would this be a reasonable workload?
Simple Guy: I only have a handful of electives as well, but I had AP scores from high school to help me. Penn State’s EE is Top 20 in the country, so it’s no push over. Thank you for your input and good luck with your 4th year!

Question about the Electrical Engineering field?

superman asked:


This is my 2nd year of college, 1st year I just did general ed, now I’m taking calculus for the summer and plan to complete my prerequisites for electrical engineering next year, but besides that, what else can a student like me do to get ahead in the field? maybe possibly find a job? (I’m thinking about taking an electronic technician course in the summer, which would license me to work as an electronic technician) But I’m not sure if this job is even related to electrical engineering?
