I said in an earlier thread that I was interested in embedded sensing as a career. It turns out that remote sensing is closer to what I was thinking of.
I've heard of embedded sensor networks being used to:
- help forecast earthquakes (hours before they occur, not weeks or months or years)
- combat terrorism (sensors to detect radiation, explosives, hazardous chemicals)
- run structural diagnostics (detect areas of high pressure and stress, etc.)
- run medical diagnostics
So would remote sensing be a good career field for me? I'm an Electrical Engineering major.
And where would I work if I went into RS? What are the big names, labs, companies in this field?
