    Post-Job-Acceptance E-mail / Bad Economy

    Good point to check. I checked the offer letter I signed... it doesn't specifically say anything about me 100% going to them after I graduate... I mean, it's an offer letter with a salary figure/bonus/relo... what more should I be looking for? You wouldn't necessarily call this a 'contract' I...

    Post-Job-Acceptance E-mail / Bad Economy

    I accepted a position with a major defense company (not Lockheed Martin or BAE) into their engineering leadership development program before this economy went down the drain. As anyone would be, in any field, I'm a little nervous as to whether or not they'll cancel my job offer or...

    Defense Industry - BSEE - Guidance Needed

    Is it safe to enter the defense industry after I graduate in May 2009 with a BSEE? I already have accepted a job with a major defense company in California. They do work mostly on radar/sonar/surveillance/missile defense.

    Job Skills Should I be Interviewing for Summer 09 Already?

    I was in your position last year. I just finished my summer 08 internship. I got the position in December before the summer. I didn't interview for companies until then. December/January is the regular timeframe for applying and interviewing for internships with many companies, like Lockheed...

    Physics Books for Non-Physics Person?

    Hi guys, I'm a senior electrical engineering major. I haven't taken any advanced physics courses, aside from General Physics I and II... and Electromagnetic Theory (junior level). I've always been interested in physics, but in a different sense than most people in this forum. I'd like to...

    Resume Ethics: Co-Op Work Full-Time + School Full-Time What to say?

    I think I'll avoid it. You're absolutely right, lisab.

    Resume Ethics: Co-Op Work Full-Time + School Full-Time What to say?

    I'm going to do a Co-Op with a research institute, full-time during the Fall semester. It will be a traditional 40 hour work experience. I will also be enrolling in school, fulltime during the Fall. I'll only be taking 8 real credits, and the other 4 are for an internship I'm doing this summer...

    Any RF/Microwave Engineers here?

    I work with them daily. I do some RF work, but not too much. Believe it or not, you will not be doing RF all the time while employed at any defense company. There is so much extra BS that has to be done (paperwork, documents, addressing system problems, etc) that if you truly wanted a RF...

    Anyone regret their engineering decision?

    I'm an EE. I've lost interest in EE after my two internships. I don't mind doing it, but I'm not as passionate/interested in it as before.

    How useful is this software? Our company is deciding on purchasing a few licenses for this product. Any personal experiences? I hear the GUI is terrible, however I'm curious about the other features. I've looked through the documentation, it doesn't seem bad.
