Hello everyone, To start, I found this forum incredibly helpful throughout my college education thus far. This forum has helped me pick my major in undergrad back in 2011, helped me narrow down which graduate program to gravitate toward upon graduation in 2015, and now I have a continued...

Thanks for the reply. I understand that I'm not as qualified as someone with a Masters and,from the sound of it, will have to get my degree first. With that said, do you think there is an advantage to landing a job as an undergraduate, getting the experience, then going back to school? Or if...

Thanks for the advice. A little background on myself, I do work on projects with some homework and sw components, but my trouble is receiving replies from companies because I do not have a Masters in Robotics; I feel that I am not looked at as seriously. This is what is prompted me to maybe...

Thank you jedishrfu. Are you saying to take a few (free?) online courses in mechatronics, robotics and programming to start the ball rolling, then later dive into a masters program? And in general, would you know if a Masters program in Robotics is enough to get a job in the field, or do most...

Hello Everyone, I posted in Physics Forums back in 2011 trying to figure out what undergraduate Major to choose based off my interests. I had received very positive feedback then and am seeking more advice now that I am further along in my career. I am a recent undergrad graduate with a major...

Hello, I have purchased a Casio CMD-40B watch. It functions as a remote control for your TV and Cable boxes. How it works is, you look up the specific TV's "code", tell it to the watch, and your watch now acts as the TV's remote control. Here is the Watch Manual...

Hello everyone, To start, I am trying make a connection between my Engineering Interests and the majors college has to offer for them. To help this discussion, this is what I like to do in my free time. I like to drawing, build things from random parts, learning how things work, etc. I...

Thank you for the reply viscousflow, If I may ask you a few more questions: i. So would you say there is a disadvantage/advantage to taking EP in comparison to EE or ME separately? I would assume that EP cuts out some EE and ME classes to make it manageable. Just from researching the...

Hello everyone, (First, I hope this is the right subsection of PhysicsForum for this type of question. I was unsure if this should go into the ME or EE section) To start, I am trying narrow down my Engineering Interests down to somewhat specific areas to solidify what majors to pursue in...
