Don't worry about me guys. I only worded the title and question in such a way as to get serious replies. I just wanted to make sure that people like Richard Dawkins are not real scientists. To my understanding (and please correct me if the logic is flawed) people like him are trying to claim...

Okay, after a bit of thinking my conclusion is that there can never be an answer. Evolutionary theorist would never be satisfied with any proof of a God as that "being" would simply be a more evolved species. The being could walk on water, wake people from the dead, or be at multiple places at...

I was just reading this article on the WSJ online entitled "Man vs. God". Well surprise, surprise I'm a Christian and happen to understand enough about physics to be a computer Engineering major. My question is, is there proof of the non-existence of "God". i.e is it right to say there is no...

Thanks Catherwood, this is truly a wealth of information. Ill most definitely keep you up to date on how it goes.

Thanks for the reply Catherwood! I'm in Canada and I'm not 100% on this but I think one could get hired directly through a company or utility. It seems to me that for Nuclear controls the practitioner would need to be a Nuclear engineer first and foremost before an Electrical/Computer/Software...

To be honest the switch was more of a "grass is greener" kind of reason but I 110% do not regret the move because it was truly for the right reasons (passions, career interests, academic interests etc). I was also looking for long term creativity in the work I did. I thought software (embedded...

I'm at the career exploration stage of my life and currently enrolled in a Computer engineering program. Can you give me a typical path to becoming an I&C engineer in the Nuclear/Oil&Gas/Manufacturing industries? Typical required courses, education levels, entry level jobs would be valuable...

You should stick with EE only and think about a career in Instrumentation and Control engineering. From the way I understand I&C you need to have broad knowledge of the system you are trying to control (Power, Nuclear, Oil&Gas, Utilities, Automotive, Aeronautical etc). Its a good way to get into...

Ask yourself where you would truly like to be in say 20 years. What do you imagine yourself doing under ideal conditions for money and pleasure? Which path is more likely to get you there? Would you like to go to work to "make a living" and come back home to your hobbies, interests, and...

Thanks for the reply Astronuc!

Hello, How hard would it be to get into Nuclear Engineering (controls) from Computer Engineering. Say I wanted to specialize in the Control/Sensing/Instruments and/or Communication systems used in plants. Would I need a Mechanical or Nuclear Engineering background? Also, How often are control...

Hey subSquall, What do you think is a good complement to an embedded system elective in terms of interesting job accessibility? Which ones can I safely skip and pick up after graduation/on my own? Control Systems: Is industrial control software run off PC's or FPGA/microcontrollers? How does...

Thanks for the reply subSquall! Oh wow! VHDL, FPGA, Microprocessor design? and here I was thinking it may be to my advantage to switch to a software engineering program (from computer. I thought I would be the wise one avoiding courses in DSD and Microprocessor systems! Would you also be...

Can you tell me about your career in Signal/Image Processing, Communications, or Intelligent systems? I would like to know what a career in these industries is like with and without a phd. Also, what skills are needed? I'm sure mathematics is one but to what level? Thank you

Signals? magnets? circuits?
