I am looking to major in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering and wanted to learn more about the majors. What I am most interested in is what job opportunities are available after college for each of the majors. From the research I have done it seems like EE (in Ohio) mostly do control...

Hi I'm a 11th grade IB student who is currently taking physics and will do the extended essay on physics :)

I really love physics, and have been thinking about majoring in it for a while, but due to the fact that I think I'd rather just work after getting my degree instead of pursuing a PhD, I have been following the engineering path. I am currently a second year ME student, and I am just now...

I'm a final year high school student trying to figure out what he wants to study in university. I have decided on an applied math double major with one of the above. My dilemma is between deciding to purse the passion I have for theoretical/ pure physics or an applied science as I would really...

Hi Before closing, I apologize for too long passage calling for the advise. I thought I need to give the potential advisors as precise information as I can. I graduated from a university in South Korea with major in Electrical engineering and minor in physics. I decided to change my major to...

I am going to be getting my A.S. in Mechanical Engineering by the end of next semester; however, I am not sure if I should pursue a B.S. in ME or EE. Both degrees would take me 3 years to finish (ME will be 12 credits a semester and one part time semester, EE will be 13-15 a semester. I can't...

Hello, I was wondering how important is knowledge of CMOS IC design and Semiconductor physics for EE if you're not interested in working in that area? In particular, I am focusing on signal processing, control with some RF/Electromagnetics courses. My interest isn't in IC design and so I am...

Hey everyone, so it's nearing the end of fall semester now, and it's time for me to register for classes next spring. The problem is that I still don't really know what to major in, and I have to decide soon. Both majors have different sets of prerequisites to take before being able to be...

I'm from the US and am currently doing undergrad at a US university but I studied at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology this summer and it convinced me that I would really prefer to get my PhD abroad. However, I have concerns about how credible that degree will be to US companies...

Hi there. I'm 22yo guy from Iran, Just started studying EE (I'm a freshman). Unfortunately, I have an uncommon case in a sick system that it'll be a long story to tell why I couldn't/didn't start going to a university when I was younger, and I'll have to explain a lot since the system here works...

Hi, guys. I'm in a dilemma of choosing either EE or ME. I've read numerous web pages on this issue and now I think I'm more passionate about EE and I'm more curious about it. I like ME only for more hands-on projects and more art related things such as design which I'm not bad in it. I'm very...

Hi guys, I am currently doing HL IB Physics and i chose to do my Extended Essay on physics as well but i am having trouble to figure out my topic and what my question can be. I was thinking of something around the area of stability in structures or renewable energy. But i have no idea what...

Background story: In high school, I fell in love with mathematics especially AP calculus (mostly because many other subjects in the sciences were not well taught in my school). I would often spend hours trying to learn the math in detail (often going more in detail then necessary on my own...

Hi! I already posted something here, but I think there's no problem in asking something different yet a bit related with my previous post. In the future, I see myself starting a company of electrical motors and generators. I want to master the designing and the technology used in order to build...

I'm considering going after a MS in Electrical/Minor Math or Masters Math/Minor electrical. I have BS in mathematics. I am completing the background EE courses as needed. What areas of EE are the best fit for someone who had a strong interest in Analysis and continuous mathematics? I was...

Hi, everyone. This is my first post and I'm glad I found this forum because I have some problems that I can't get much feedback for. I graduated from college about 15 years ago with a BS degree in electrical/computer engineering. My gpa ranged somewhere from 2.8 to 3.0. Based on USNews, my...

Hello electrical engineers and hobbyists of PhysicsForums! This is my first post (I think... I might have posted before) and I am a junior-year EEE student at a local University. I have some free time this summer and want to study/review some concepts to be fresh when I need them for my...

Hi everyone, I hope this is the correct place to post this thread. So, I'm in a school that takes part in the IB diploma which is basically an internationally recognized diploma that let's students have a wide range of possible universities when they leave high school. One of the requirements...

First time poster, I thought I'd pose this question since I am entering the engineering field next year (plans to branch off into EE). I am going into this next year totally blind, like many have I imagine. If you were to go back to your younger self a) what would you have done to prepare...

http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/info/regist/calendars/programs/1564.html I am looking at this program and it looks awesome. However looking at year #2, it looks pretty brutal from my newb perspective.. My question is; is this as brutal as I think it is, or is this program putting courses...

Sorry in advance for the long winded question; I really want to take physics. I love the theories and different ways to approach things, and the way it opens your eyes in a way that you can never see the world the same again. I am sure many people here understand this passion and interest. And...

To what degree should I study each of these fields in order to be prepared for a career in quantum computing R&D? Electrical Engineering Computer Science Physics I plan to major in all three topics, but with which program(s) should I pursue higher education? I realize computer engineering is...

Hello everyone, I need your advice here. I am in my last term in EE in a fairly reputable school in Canada (or so they say). Due to a variety of factors, my gpa is pretty embarrassing (I am looking forward to graduate with a 2.6x gpa) I understand this is well below the 3.0 line for grad...

Hello everyone. I searched this forum but couldn't get a good answer! In my country there are few jobs available as quant but one of the companys that hires them went to my university 5 months ago in a carrer fair. They were looking for a engineer graduate to apply and train as quant. I...

Hey, I will be graduating soon with a BS in Physics but have recently developed a interest to pursue a career in the EE field. I was planning to just head to a Masters program in EE, but the more I read up I am realizing that there is a difference in having a BS in EE and MS in EE. I am...

Homework Statement Find V0 and i0. Homework Equations Total current at each node is = 0. Total voltage around each loop is = 0. The Attempt at a Solution I can't seem to be able to analyze this circuit. That i0/4 is really messing me up. I am unsure how to apply both KCL and KVL on this...
