If you can handle calc 2 you can handle the rest of the curriculum. Posts about building electrical (residential or industrial) as well as electrical grid systems should be taken to /r/electricians. Stupidly hard at uni. Would I get a college degree in EE if I would do that job? Because the latter will make your life alot easier since you will genuinely be interested in what you are learning. Cookies help us deliver our Services. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. So what job am I describing? A place to ask questions, discuss topics and share projects related to Electrical Engineering. If you want to do things like phones and other digital electronics, you might want to look at Computer Engineering. The content will increase with difficulty, but if you're resourceful, disciplined and focused with your studying, then you'll be able to manage the workload. Computer engineering is more coding though, I still want to apply analog electronics. I'm just very intimidated by the classes because I never applied myself in high school so seeing Calculus, Physics then the harsh sounding courses for the major just sound so intimidating. My graduating class had a good year and 30 out of 160 eventually graduated with ee. Hi guys! 18. When it was time for exams, he wasn't joking about that anymore. The weeks can be long but it is always a different problem to solve and I like that, Can I ask what type of industry and type of engineer you are? Asking for EEs in all fields. I don’t really wanna work 60 hours a week, My job is a Design Engineer at my company and the job is very hands on from schematics all the way to mass production. I transferred into Geophysics because the money would be better upon graduation. This electrical engineer basically lives out of his company truck, spends weeks away from his family, and does most of his work at substations. Intelligently explain why they are wrong, don't just say they're an "idiot". But most importantly, I applied to rotational programs. Sorry that’s literally all YouTube videos taught me. My class started with over 300. Why the difference in difficulty? No advertising of products, services or personal websites/blogs. You can also double major at many universities in EE and CompE with about 1 additional semester or just 1 more year. Thanks. Don't do that. Complex stuff like computers or easy things like your toaster oven, radios, toys, a clock, etc. Don't do that. long hours, lots of hotels and AirB&B, but the pay is ridiculously good and i get to be outside a lot and i have a lot of friends with blue collar workers who I would otherwise probably not have an opportunity to interact with. Around 35 stuck it out and graduated. Is the workload super intense? Be respectful of others opinions. Or are you genuinely interested in being an electrical engineer? I switched to electrical engineering because the problems I foresee in our growing grid infrastructure are interesting to me, and I want to learn more about how engineers solve problems related to grid operations. Curriculum sheets are approved each year to reflect changes to program requirements. I like to have a life outside of school, too.) First day the prof said look at the person on your left and right. I think you'll be more interested with a CompE track education but definitely could do EE at a major university and select certain classes to emphasize in the type of work you want. Members. Posted by 11 days ago. Also this question is highly relative, what I found easy or hard might not be the case for everyone else. 76.8k. You have to be able to manage your time efficiently and make use of your resources. In college I did electrical engineering but there is usually a computer engineering degree too, I’d recommend doing EE if you want to do hardware design but CompEs usually become software engineers. The electrical engineering core curriculum focuses on fundamental electrical engineering knowledge: circuits (ECE 110), systems (ECE 210), electromagnetics (ECE 329), semiconductor devices (ECE 340), computer engineering (ECE 120, ECE 220, ECE 385), and design (ECE 445). I currently work for a startup doing electrical/systems/automation engineering. Intelligently explain why they are wrong, don't just say they're an "idiot". If you want more or less exactly what you are wanting a startup might be the way to go. You typically wear allot of hats in a startup so the risk of getting burnt out doing the same thing every day is low. And if I tell you, E&M was cake for me but semiconductor theory was hard, that shouldn't influence your decision at all because what I found easy or difficult might not apply to you. At first it was the money, but I realized I kind of like being an electrician and want to see where I can go with it. These handouts provide general information about the degree requirements, admission to major coursework, general education category requirements, and a sample projection of coursework. So, i applied to large engineering firms doing interesting, huge projects. Generic "Please solve this problem" posts will be removed. You're either looking at a degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering (rare to find this program in USA), or even Computer Engineering. new. Its is literally trying to account for every possible outcome and solve a bigger problem. Comments are locked. No tech support questions on consumer products, unless it is truly an engineering problem. Resume Critique Videos 5 & 6. Maybe do that. A sprinkle of funny posts help keep the sub from becoming stale. You're either looking at a degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering (rare to find this program in USA), or even Computer Engineering. Semiconductor manufacturing, power engineering, sensor design, FPGA design, simulation design, automotive systems, the list goes on. No advertising of products, services or personal websites/blogs. 8. Posts related to education that are not specifically EE should be taken to /r/EngineeringStudents. IMO, either a degree in EE or CompE would qualify you for that type of job though. Yep. EEs are educated for creating silicon chips, diodes, transistors, layout of PCBs. I transferred into Geology because I wanted to work less and play more. I switched to electrical engineering because the problems I foresee in our growing grid infrastructure are interesting to me, and I want to learn more about how engineers solve problems related to grid operations. How much of your electronics education do you use on a daily basis? Im fine with coding, soldering, debugging, those are nice to me. I never tried back in high school that's why physics and calculus are very intimidating to me. 2 comments. card classic compact. What matters after your degree is the job you land. 1 of you will graduate. I went into Chemistry because it was my highest grade in high school. By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies. It is interesting meeting all of the different people all around the country. If you choose to do EE put in 100% and try your best don't doubt your self before you even start. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a bit harsh, but I have been asked this question so many times and it bugs the hell out of me. The larger the company, the less you'll see of the full project. 60 percent meetings, 30 percent coding with copy and paste from stack overflow, and the rest is hard coding work. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the ElectricalEngineering community, Continue browsing in r/ElectricalEngineering. Posted by 2 months ago. Engineering Resumes r/ EngineeringResumes. 2. Some engineers like their specific field (electonics, electrical, communications, etc...) and its easier than others to them... No one really is a master of ALL fields. Never understood that idea. A place to ask questions, discuss topics and share projects related to Electrical Engineering. I know that questions like this are supposed to be in another sub but I'm asking you guys because you've already made it. Had an amazing professor for Signals and Systems and most did well, crappy professor for computer architecture - did really poorly - and the concepts are easy. Press J to jump to the feed. My University just put a lot of money into labs + programs for this because power companies need young blood. Bloody easy at work. How hard is it to be an electrical engineer? I'm still in school, but the part about the effort is really true. Are you guys like software engineers, and don’t work much, just go to meetings? We will not do your homework for you. I'm still not entirely sold on one major or another but EE sounds fun in practice. None of that power stuff really. No Consumer Product Tech Support Questions, Press J to jump to the feed. The class the year behind had a sophmore weed out class were 130 out of 150 failed and most dropped out. Basically a electronics prototyping and product design firm is what you're looking for. I remember I had a classmate keep making a snide remarks about how I was always studying (which is true while I'm on campus. The math you have to be able to do is calculus, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, and some complex analysis.
