Is electrical engineering as hands on as I think it is?
Hello, I am an aspiring electrical engineer and I want to do EE because I enjoy it. My main concern is that electrical engineering jobs aren't hands on. I have heard from multiple people that the majority of the jobs are just sitting at a desk all day. Also, is EE in Boston viable? To me, it seems like yes #electrical-engineering #engineering #engineer #job #boston

Is getting an Electrician’s License after earning a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) wise?
I am a College Senior majoring in Electrical Engineering. My long-term goals include: 1) using what I learned in school to create, build, and repair things; and 2) owning an Engineering firm. I, therefore, think learning a technical skill similar to my present major might be very beneficial. With an Electrician's License, I can freelance while working a job with my degree to save money for my own company. Freelancing will simultaneously build up potential clientele. Is this a smart move? Or is an Electrician’s License so different than a BSEE, that it would be a waste of time to pursue it? #engineering #electrician #electrical-engineering #electrical #electrical-engineer
What is the best way to continue practicing what you learned in your Engineering courses?

Should working for a huge company like google feel intimitating for me?
I enjoy working with wires and making a machine or a computer, but I never really thought of living a career out of it until my cousin suggested I should. I'm good at other things but making stuff is what I like doing because I get to call something that works and functions my own. #electrical-engineering #electrical-and-electronic-manufacturing #google
Should I switch from Electrical Engineering to Computer Engineering?
I have never taken a chemistry class in my life and am very concerned about taking it. If I change my intended major to CompE, I do not need to take chemistry. Is it worth it to switch my major because of that reason? I am a second-semester freshman. #college-majors #electrical-engineering #computer-engineering

How does it look to future employers if you work in a different field for a while?
I am hoping to pursue a career in biomedical engineering. However, I will likely work in an electrical product engineering position for a non-biomedical company following graduation. How will biomedical companies I apply for in the future see this? Will this experience help me or will they assume I am unfamiliar with biomedical technologies and pass on me? #electrical-engineering #biomed #engineering-industry #engineering #biotechnology #first-job #biomedical-engineering #career-change #career-plan
What industry areas of Biomedical Engineering are the best for recent college graduates hoping to pursue a lifelong career in biomedical product engineering?

Is it better to just do Automotive engineering or do a combination of mechanical and electrical engineering?
Specifically I would do Mechanics and Power and I want to do research and development for an automotive company specifically doing propulsion systems. Things like drivetrain and the engine. Since the future is electric power, I think it is a good idea to have the knowledge of electrical engineering as well as mechanical engineering, #automotive-engineering #mechanical-engineering #electrical-engineering #electric-vehicles #electrical-and-electronic-manufacturing #mechanics #masters-degree #research-and-development
If I wanted to get a job in automotive research in development, is it worth it to major in both electrical and mechanical engineering?
I am thinking about getting at least a masters in both electrical and mechanical engineering but I am wondering if it is even worth it or if I should just get a masters/PhD in mechanical engineering. #electrical-engineering #mechanical-engineering #automotive-engineering #research-and-development #masters-degree #science-phd #

Would it be advisable to receive an electrical engineering major and get certified in teaching?
I would like to major in electrical engineering and get certified to teach advanced high school math or physics. Is that too many credits to complete in 4 years? I was also considering double majoring in electrical engineering and mathematics. In addition, I wanted to get certified in teaching math or physics for high schoolers. Would that be do-able in 5 years? I have around 40 college credit hours from high school. #engineering #teaching #mathematics #double-major #electrical-engineering
Advice for third-year electrical engineering student interested in pursuing audio/DSP careers?
I am a third-year EE student with good understanding of circuit analysis, time and frequency domain analysis of signals, and system analysis, and am educating myself on music production (mixing and mastering).

Any words of wisdom for someone wanting to pursue a professional career in audio? #electrical-engineering #audio-engineering #sound-mixing #DSP #sound-mastering
What are some tips on getting to know a professor more personally while staying professional?
I am college freshmen and I have been in school for 2 weeks now. In my freshmen introduction class and during orientation, the adults suggested that students get to know their professors and visit them during office hours. They mentioned that college is where you build your networks and the professors can help with that. #engineering #electrical-engineering
What is the best route to becoming a music and electrician engineer?
I'm asking because, my college career choice was to major in music engineering and minor in electrical engineering. Honestly, I chose the careers I enjoy doing and want to make my life style. One day I want to own my own Record/Recording label (music engineering). If I have a wiring problem or my Record label don't start, I can be certified to fix my own technical difficulties or purse a career as a electrician. #music-production #music-recording #electrical-engineering

Why does a transformer work only with AC power supply? What would happen if it was connected to a DC power supply?
From my understanding of how a transformer works. A AC power provides an alternating magnetic field which drives the current to the other coil. So what is the reason why transformers only work with AC and not DC power? Is it because the DC power will provide constant current which can be too much for the wires to handle? #engineering #mechanical-engineering #physics #electrical-engineering

Is an internship viable even after graduation?
I'm an Engineer student and about to graduate. I am actively seeking jobs and kind of struggling to find a suitable job due to lack of work experience. However, internships seem to be attractive for me since most of them require little to no work experience. So I wonder if an internship is still a viable option after graduation. #engineering #career #job-search #human-resources #electrical-engineering #recruiting
I am an international student, pursuing a Master's Degree in Electrical & Computer Engineer Carleton University.Is there any technical job which requires least coding?
Reason is that I am good at analytics, calculation , maths but bad at programming so I have a fear of note getting job due to my poor programming skills and I also think there might be many students like me who have same problem. #career-counseling #job-search #electrical-engineering #recruiting #canada-university #cryptography
