as a mech who switched to software after having two jobs that weren't great, this gives me hope to get back to the best engineering field!!!! woop baby
Hey, I'll be learning in a technical college (it's high school but you get a job as well as the possibility of going to uni, it's a European thing), where I've chosen the electrician technician (more of an electrical engineering thing) path over the mechatronics (leaning more into mechanical, having looked at the curriculum) path, having done my research on both. I'm good at maths and physics, robots don't really fascinate me, and although I've enjoyed all my physics classes, electromagnetism was my favourite despite being harder and more intimidating than mechanics, as it feel like magic lol. I'm fine with programming, don't love nor hate it. For some reason, I overthink everything to death, including this. So what do you think? Have I made a good choice?
Is it normal that I am almost in last year of industrial engineering and explaining what it is still difficult for me? As a trainee being an industrial engineering trainee is confusing cause you won't be able to do management cause you are a student why would they trust you with that and if it's about optimization many factories dislike people who try to change them and usually prefer the status quo
In the last 30 years of my professional electrical engineering success I acquired many skills in electrical engineering and other areas such as software, firmware, hardware, App develo0pment, embedded design, intelligent MCU based machines in the markets of medical, wired and wireless electronic communications, smart automation systems, ECO friendly systems, power, handhelds, toys, airport and security, multimedia programming, and many other skills. The more I learn then more I love doing all of what I learned. The only problem professionals like myself face is they are always overqualified, or are feared by recruiters and managers who were recently promoted by their bosses.
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It involves the design, development, testing, and deployment of electrical systems, devices, and technologies. Electrical engineers work on a wide range of applications, from small electronic devices to large-scale power generation and distribution systems. Here are 10 ultimate things to know about electrical engineering and its categories: 1. *Circuits and Electronics*: Understanding circuit analysis, electronic components, and device physics. 2. *Electromagnetism*: Grasping electromagnetic theory, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic waves. 3. *Control Systems*: Knowing control system design, modeling, and analysis, as well as control strategies and algorithms. 4. *Power Systems*: Understanding power generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization, including power system protection and control. 5. *Signal Processing*: Familiarity with signal processing techniques, including filtering, transforms, and signal analysis. 6. *Communication Systems*: Knowledge of communication systems, including analog and digital communications, modulation, and information theory. 7. *Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems*: Understanding microcontroller architecture, programming, and applications, as well as embedded system design. 8. *Computer Networks*: Knowing computer network fundamentals, including network topologies, protocols, and network architecture. 9. *Instrumentation and Measurement*: Understanding measurement principles, sensors, and instrumentation, as well as data acquisition and analysis. 10. *Electrical Energy Conversion*: Grasping electrical energy conversion principles, including electric machines, drives, and power electronics. Categories of Electrical Engineering: 1. *Power Engineering*: Deals with power generation, transmission, and distribution. 2. *Control and Instrumentation Engineering*: Focuses on control systems, instrumentation, and automation. 3. *Electronics and Communication Engineering*: Encompasses electronic circuits, communication systems, and signal processing. 4. *Computer Engineering*: Covers computer hardware, software, and networking aspects. 5. *Instrumentation Engineering*: Concerned with measurement, sensors, and data acquisition. 6. *Electrical Machines and Drives*: Deals with electric machines, drives, and power electronics. 7. *Renewable Energy Engineering*: Focuses on solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources. 8. *Electrical Engineering Materials Science*: Explores materials used in electrical engineering applications. 9. *Biomedical Engineering*: Applies electrical engineering principles to medical applications. 10. *Nanotechnology*: Explores the application of electrical engineering principles to nanoscale devices and systems. Remember, these categories often overlap, and electrical engineers may work across multiple areas throughout their careers.
It is a fundamental belief that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves to be treated with equal respect and dignity. This principle is rooted in the fact that every individual has made valuable contributions to society in their own unique way. Whether it be through their work, their ideas, or simply their presence, each person has played a role in shaping the world we live in today. By acknowledging and honoring the contributions of all individuals, we can create a society that is more inclusive and compassionate. It is important to recognize the diversity of experiences and perspectives that each person brings to the table, as this diversity is what allows us to grow and learn from one another. When we treat others with equal respect, we are affirming their worth and acknowledging the importance of their presence in our lives. This not only fosters a sense of community and unity, but it also encourages individuals to continue making positive contributions to the world around them. In essence, by valuing and respecting everyone equally, we are creating a world where all individuals feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are. This not only benefits the individual, but society as a whole, as we are able to harness the full potential of each person's unique talents and abilities.
As a fellow Engineer. You make a huge point in networking essentially you can get a degree in whatever branch of engineering that’s great. If you don’t do the networking like joining clubs or societies or even looking for internships doing the groundwork you’re going to be stuck. I’m a NE btw.
Jake if you’re still viewing these comments I have a question on average salaries. It seems now 3 years later that mechanical, industrial, and computer have jumped up $10,000-$20,000 more in median salary but else rival has only grown by $4,000. Why is this?
3 years later, this video is still inspiring many. I'm more inclined to the electronics side, coding and programming. Trying to figure out which field I should dive into.
Idk man I’m an industrial electrician and I can’t tell you how many times we need to redline a lot of these “designs”… a degree doesn’t always make you worth a fuck. Especially when these guys come right out of school with zero field experience.
Interesting that Ash mentioned including your GPA. My granddaughter is studying cheme at UMich College of Engineering. Going into her senior year her GPA is 3.85, into which she has put a lot of effort. But there have been thosewho sayGPA doesn't matter. I guess it does.
What about ECPI’s electrical engineering technology Mechatronics specialty? What about ECPI’s electrical engineering technology bachelors - Megatron specialty? I’m debating between mechanical engineering technology and their electrical engineering technology program. What’s your thought for as far as salary outcomes??
I'm really interested in Chemical Engineering but now I'm scared because of the job outlook. It really excites me unlike Mechanical or civil but Software I'm not really aware of what goes on there but it does look interesting so do you think i can get into Chemical then take Internships in software engineering?
im doing electrical engineering because I think the way computers use boolean algebra and logic to do math is pretty cool I also like optics and signals but I hate programming with a passion because I hate learning all the commands and syntax so im hoping to avoid code as much as possible lmao
Hey I am going to MVCC a college in Utica NY for AAS a 2 year associates degree , afterwards I plan on going for a electrical engineering technician job and eventually becoming a full engineer. I was planning on joining national grid if I can be hired as quick as possible after the 2 year degree. I had a few questions. I have always had good grades and been a smart kid 95+ average however when it comes to computers and coding it takes me longer than other kids to learn the material. And some math I have to get help for - I think if I really try my best I can be an electrical engineer it’s my dream. However I want to hear your thoughts on parts of the job itself like if you have to run across complex math questions 24/7 and a long list of programming that needs to be done. I would like to know more. This video was great.
I'm in my 3rd year, and I'm feeling worried and confused. I haven't settled on what engineering field to focus on. I do have some top choices. Being 36 years old, I am considered a career changer. Due to the fact that I've worked in building maintenance for 13yrs.
I'm in my 3rd year, and honestly, I feel I need help. I got into engineering because I wanted to be involved with improving people's lives. Still, I don't know what area to focus on. Plus, I have a hard time retaining the knowledge.
So all those videos about mechatronics salary are wrong or deceiving. Because mechatronics is an associates degree, but does the salary come with a combination of degrees. Can someone explain this to me, please?
Currently going to college to become a electrical engineer, I had not much information about what I was getting myself into but want to work for a hydro power plant (turbine power) since it pays very well.
