Well, It's not easier...But you will actually start feeling like you are finally an engineering student! You know, all these applied science and situations will let you feel you are not just taking meaningless courses..You will no more think theoritically, but rather, money and many other...

I have had a small project about this issue before.. But I used microwave signal to recharge a mobile phone battery, not light.. The link is interesting ranger... While doing this project, I thought of this resonance idea, but actually, I wasn't scientifically mature enough to design such a...

Well, I'm specialized mainly in electric power, with the specialities I mentioned.. In my university, what I mentioned, and what you did are two separate departments: ''Electrical power and machines'', and ''communications and electronics''... Thanks anyway berkeman :)

Hey berkeman, I guess you are an EE..right? Well, I'm studying EE and don't really know what to choose between, high voltage, automatic control, utilization, or machines as my specialization.. Can you (or any other one) give me some hint for what each of them really does?...I will be...

Let me rephrase this, there are awufull teachers and awufull universities! (I'm really sick of my university these days, so I'm being hard on it!)

:biggrin::biggrin:...Wellcome to our club! I'm studying EE in Egypt...it's no way better!...may be worse! It's much more awful here...you have to memorize everything to pass, for no one here is ready to explain anything to you... The result is that we graduate without even understanding...

I do agree with you...But the fact is that the largest party in the technology fields doesn't actually require a rapid scientific development.. I mean, I'm an EE student, I discoverd that physicists only support the idea, but we (as engineers) develop it, that it may turn out to be a whole...

That's a new point of view! I will go with the example you proposed.. Assume a company is working in a whatever project...The ratio of EE required to the Phyicists required is about 10:1... You don't need many phyicists, but you will certainly need to many EE... So, when you come to...

Well, It seems to me like the technology development is much faster than the scientific one... In the past, like a century ago, technology mainly depended on the development of natural sciences, but now, I think technologies are built upon each other, and sciences don't seem to participate...

Philosophy?...do you mean PHD? How can you study physics with taking math in considersation? The more you get deeply in physics, the more you get deeply in mathematics

Why don't you go for an electronics major, and start further studies for nanotechnology?...by this way, you will have a major that will enable you to work in normal fields, and studies that will enable you to work in what you are interested at...

Well, then compare between the two curriculums, and try figuring out which of them look more interesting for you, regardless the teachers thing.. :) If I was to judge my major by means of teachers, I would never consider studying it! Anyway, that's a good start, keep comparing subjects...

Do they have such a major? I'm an electrical eng. student, never heard of it :D If it exists, then I certainly don't know what they really do, since nanotechnology is not widely involved in the engineering fields.. I think you must be genius to prove yourself in such a major, because...

Well, I'm electrical.. I also love architecture, but chose electrical because I love the subjects taught there.. As I noticed from you post, you didnt talking about what you study in civil, while you mentioned what people study in electrical.. Seems like your choice for civil was driven...

Thats my dream coming true: Electrical engineering + physics = my happy ending! I'm actually planning to do this...I have a plan to study physics after finishing engineering...Although I still doubt whether this will be applicable or not, because as an engineer, you become busy like 24/7...
