AI Thread Summary
Electromechanical engineering is a field that offers diverse project opportunities, but the nature of work can vary significantly based on individual interests and career development. Daily responsibilities often depend on the specific role and company, with many engineers experiencing limited control over projects initially. Gaining independence in project management is possible by demonstrating value and successful outcomes, though it can also be influenced by management styles. Career paths may evolve, necessitating adaptability and potential further education as interests change. Ultimately, the experience in this field is shaped by personal initiative and workplace dynamics.

Is anyone here an electromechanical engineer? I think this is the field that I want to get into.

If there is anyone, what kind of projects do you get to work on? What's your usual day at work like? I would imagine that you'd get quite a bit of control over the project, is this true?

thanks,
brandon

Nobody can answer this for you. It really is all about you here. As you grow your interests might change. Then its time to sell someone on how your skills are valuable to the new field. Or go back to school. :biggrin:
I've done both.

Who knows. What I work on now did not exist when I got out of school.
What your day will be like depends a lot on you.

Generally not. You will be told to do XYZ.
However, if you can show that BQR is a benefit, it proves to work and do this a few times you can get a fair amount of independence. Depends on if your boss is a control freak or not. If this is the case it's time to clean up your resume :rolleyes:
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
