Anything is possible, it is just a matter of how much time and money you are willing to spend on it. Even with a lot of AP science credit, I imagine there is very little overlap curriculum wise between a fine arts degree and an engineering degree. Engineering degrees also tend to be very...
It can be done, as a number of people here have pointed out. I work 30 (plus or minus a few) hours a week and take a 15-17 credit hours a semester. That has gotten progressively more difficult, but it is doable if you have a good work ethic. For my first three years I made straight A's without...
I am in an introductory course to electric machines, but we aren't covering anything as complicated as a DFIG. We are studying basic simplified DC and AC machines.
The only thing I can think of is that since you have windings on both stator and rotor it is acting as a sort of transformer. The...
Hi, I am an EE student that has been helping in my professor's lab. We have a Double Fed Induction Generator set up and it is rotated by a DC motor. It is used for experiments. We have the whole set up running through a controller with a graphical user interface where you can adjust various...
You have a long way to go before that becomes a concern. Like Doug above said, PE licenses are for people that already have an engineering degree and years of engineering experience. If you are a sophomore now, you wouldn't even be eligible to take the exam for another six or seven years...
Let me approach this from a different angle. Upon thinking about my post, I realized what my real question is. What does one do to mitigate the weakness of not having had an internship?
It is unlikely that I will get an internship for the summer for the aforementioned reasons. I haven't ruled...
If computers ever get to a point that scientists are redundant, then there will be bigger problems for the human race than an excess of unemployable STEM degrees.
A bit more info. I am 30, went back to college at 27 for an Electrical Engineering Degree. I have one year left after this semester. I have a wife and a mortgage and a job (non technical, I work in the service industry) Getting an internship is a challenging endeavor for me. I have bills to pay...
I had looked at the PLL block, but I couldn't find a way to hook it up to anything that actually gave me the frequency. Say for example, I just hook up a sinewave block set to 60Hz to the PLL, what do I need to run the Frequency output to for it to say "60"? I tried just hooking it up to a...
Ok, say I have a sine wave block that has a frequency of 60Hz. What can I do to get that frequency as a number so I can use it as an input to another block? I've tried various things such as a "sign" block that counts when it switches from positive to negative and then a counter that resets...
I'm trying to look up sources on the nyquist sampling rate, but I keep finding this small subtle difference between sources, and I am not sure if it is laziness or some subtle point I am missing.
Sometimes I see the nyquist rate as Fs>2Fm and sometimes I see it as Fs>=2Fm. So is it the sampling...
If you're looking at it from a purely economic standpoint, college tuition and general education are not related problems. If they changed all universities into technical colleges where you take your 60 credits of physics and you're done, they would probably still charge you just as much for...
Sorry, this is just kind of a pet peeve of mine. People complaining that they are learning stuff about the world that they don't need to know. I don't know how many college students I have taken gen ed courses with that spout something of the nature "Why do I have to take a dumb boring history...
Don't let your age stop you at all. It hasn't stopped me.
I didn't graduate elementary school. You read that right, I finished 5th grade before my parents took me out of school because they were insane and insisted the world was ending. I did not get an education at all after that. I was not...
