Should I focus on DSP or acoustic engineering? Also, any steps to take towards these careers?
I like both math and audio, which initially led to me discovering DSP. However, I discovered acoustic engineering, which I find to be equally interesting. I have experience in theatre sound and music production. I’m also infrequently learning to code.
What to choose to have a better career in the states ?
Got into Canadian top unis and Australian top unis Greetings. I got an offer letter from McGill University in Electrical Engineering and Software Engineering (co-op), and again, I got offer letters from UNSW, Monash Australia, and the University of Sydney, too, for a bachelor of engineering! No wonder Australian top universities that are t50 have way lower tuition fees than McGill University alone. As I am planning to do electrical engineering, which university will be really good for better career opportunities in the future? I will be moving to the to the USA after completing my undergrad in Australia or Canada for my Masters and career too! If I go to the top Australian university, which one is really good for electrical engineering? And most importantly McGill doesn't offer co-ops either! I was planning to choose those just because it has a good reputation in the states.
What are the most suitable majors for transitioning from engineering?
Suppose a person has completed the physics I-III sequence, the calculus I-III sequence, differential equations, probability and statistics, linear algebra, along with several engineering-specific credits. Which majors should they consider transitioning to where they have already met many of the required courses? Unfortunately, transitioning to one of the business majors is less feasible due to the amount of required courses & lack of overlap, and their IQ probably isn't high enough for a mathematics or physics major.

What is the 1 book you would suggest everyone reads in their lifetime?
I'm making it a personal goal to read for 30 minutes daily again, and am looking for some quality material. Anything related to science, technology, or woman's history are very interesting to me. #college #engineering #science #technology #tech #women-in-tech #reading #women-in-engineering #books

Is the pressure of being a woman in STEM extreme?
I've been considering going down a Stem path when I get to college but I'm worried I would be too intimidated to actively pursue my degree.
How do I choose which college to apply to?
I want to be an Imagineer for Disney, I know what I want to major in, Engineering... But how do I choose a college? I don't care how far it is, but it's hard to really know what schools have good programs for that. Please help!
Is changing my schedule worth it for technical school ?
My school offers a program where juniors and seniors can apply to leave for their first two blocks to go to technical school. They earn four elective credits per year for this and can even earn college credit. They still have to earn enough credits to graduate, so sacrifices have to be made. In my case I would like to apply for their engineering and robotics program. Since I’ll only have two classes a day, I won’t be able to take a lot of the classes I want to. These are AP Calc C (I can take BC the previous year instead of AB), two additional years of French (including French 4 and AP), two years of band (I’ve been doing band since fourth grade; I play seven instruments), AP Comp Sci A, AP Chem (I’ve loved chemistry since third grade), and AP Psych. Will this look bad for college? Is it worth it?
What major should I go for ?
I have always been interested in mathematics and physics. After graduating from 12th grade, I have discovered that I'm really good at mathematics, though I used to get over 95% in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. I know getting a good score isn't everything in a career; there are so many skills that are required to have a top-notch career. Now I am planning to do my major in electrical engineering or software engineering. As I like grinding mathematics more, will it be a wise decision to major in electrical engineering? I really want to do a startup. Will it be a wise decision to major in electrical engineering, having the passion to do the startup and maintaining academics perfectly? One thing I would like to say, I'm going to move to Montreal and planning to do my MBA afterwards.
Do you have to be really strong when it comes to being a mechanic or working in engineering?
I am 14 years old, bilingual, and an 8th grader.
How can I ensure a successful career path in academia or industry after completing a PhD specializing in quantum physics, considering my diverse interests in languages and creative pursuits as well?
As someone who completed a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a master's in materials chemistry from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and worked as a product engineer for 7 years, I have a solid technical background. However, I have a persistent keen interest in physics, particularly quantum physics and its applications. I'm considering pursuing a PhD in either physics or physical chemistry to explore my passion for research science. At the same time, I am trained in materials chemistry, I speak 4 languages, and I actively pursue songwriting and writing on the side. How can I navigate this transition and what are some tips for maintaining a balance between my scientific pursuits and my other interests?
If I apply for electrical engineering, how many job opportunities would I have ?
I want to apply for electrical engineering for college, but in case if I change my mind, what other jobs could I have if I still apply for electrical engineering? Another question, what would you say is the must disliked part about electrical engineering.
