I'm torn between C and D, can anyone explain which answer is which and WHY? Also, I don't know whether the answer to this is "in" or "out", however I'm quite sure it's out. Does the direction of a magnetic field have to be North to South?

Hi, i am in the process of trying to transfer to EE from EET. before i do i really want to know the big diffrence between this two fields. i am a hands on person, but i also do not mind having calculus as part of a more complex concept. and how big of a jump am i trying to make? thanks urgent!

Note: I learned German while I lived in Switzerland for 2 years. I'm studying to be an EE right now. From your professional experience in the industry, would German be a very useful language to know? Is there much of a demand for bilingual engineers? From my experience in Switzerland, almost...

I'm currently an undergrad in EE and was just wondering if it was needed to get a Master's degree to find a good job. I want to specialize in electronics and computer hardware. I don't want to be a programmer but rather would work alongside them in design and such. I haven't even really...

I'm in my second year of EE at my university right now, and I'm going to have to pick what I want to specialize in. That means I should now have some sort of idea of what I actually want to do once I graduate. The class that I've enjoyed the most thus far has got to be one called Digital...

I'm a math major having taken 1st yr physics, programming, lab electronics, and a EE minor of 4-5 courses on signal processing and linear systems (including couple grad courses). I'm also doing medical imaging research w/ the EE dept this summer. I didn't major in EE b/c I've no interest in...

I am trying to nail down what exactly the difference in jobs are between a Electrical and Computer Engineer. I think I have a relatively good idea of what to look for in CpE since I am a bit more familiar with what kinds of work they do and know of a good website to browse representative jobs in...

I've heard some schools do this. True in general?

Say I enter PHD w/ an outside MS. What percentage of coursework can I usually transfer? How many semesters classes need I retake? I'm thinking of an MS in signal processing in EE, if that makes any difference. thanks.

im a sophomore but almost a yr ahead. I've 2 options: 1) bs math + ms coterm ee (signals or controls) - already close to a bs math - takes 2 more yrs so gets covered by my undergrad finaid. 2) (bs + coterm ms) ee - bs ee requires almost a yr more of classes than math - takes 3 more...

In preparation for my PhD Qualifying Exam I've prepared a series of lectures on SPP Dispersion Relations , Boundary conditions; Magnetic Field, Transmission Lines Part 1, and Reflection Transmission Normal Incidence Part 1 among other things. My YouTube page can be found at: I'd...

I am in the middle of an EE graduate program and I have been taking courses in device physics and semiconductors process technology. I am starting to think that this isn't the area I am truly passionate about. I haven't really been doing all that well in the classes. Which areas of EE are...

Hi All, I am a computer programmer who has studied computer science and electrical engineering .It is my desire to combine my programming skill and EE background to design systems that potentially constitute mechanical parts( controlled by circuit and firmware...) .The problem is ,I have no...

Hello, I haven’t frequented this board in long while but right now I need some advice. I’m currently a third year electrical engineering student (on an irregular course sequence) and quite frankly, I’m becoming disillusioned about the field I’ve chosen. It’s not that electronics or power...

I want to be an electrical engineer. It sounds fascinating, but I honestly don't know much about it at all. It's about time I learned. I start college this fall but right now I have a LOT of free time and I want to get a head start now. What could I spend the next few months doing before I...

Hello, everyone. I am currently in an EE program with an expected graduation date of June 2012, and I am getting a better idea of what I want to be doing later down the road. I have decided that I want to pursue graduate studies with Nanotechnology. I am mostly interested with nanotech...

Hello everyone, My name is Dave. I live in Louisiana and am currently attending a community college in the town that I live in. I am looking to transfer to a larger school in order to work to obtaining my E.E. degree. I cannot afford (not do I really wish) to go into a large amount of debt...

First of all, sorry if this is posted in the wrong area. I thought that this pertains more to a career than anything (also because I do indeed view my education as the first step of my new career...) I've found myself in a situation that is quite the opposite of what I'd envisioned for...

This is going to be a bit verbose, so prepare yourself :) I asked this same question a while ago on this forum and the responses I got indicated to me that I did not ask my question properly and that I did not give enough background information for anyone to understand what my goals actually...

So I am an EE student, just getting ready to buy a system for my career... should i buy a mac or a pc?

Hey there everyone, I'm new to the forums! I just finished my first semester in college as an electrical engineer. I didn't really take any "engineering" courses per se, but I was introduced to programming via Matlab. Next semester I'll be doing more math, more programming (C++), and an...

prospect ee major here. What would be a good minor to go with an ee degree? thanks.

I'm a sophomore EE student in US. When I was little, I imagined myself creating robots and other cool stuff, and that stuck through high school and into college. And now, I have been thinking about dropping EE and going with physics, which is what really interests me. I guess I've been a bit...

Physics ---> EE Hello all, I am currently a Physics major in my 2nd year having second thoughts about my major. After taking my physics III course on E&M I have found myself pretty interested in electricity. I am highly considering switching over to Electrical Engineering for a more hands...

I really believed that I had my mind made up on the direction I wanted to go, but as the time draws near for me to begin my academic adventure I realized I have been operating on an assumed belief... That it is easier to get a job with a BA in Electrical Engineering than with a BA in Physics...

Hey, I am a junior at the University of Central Florida. This past summer I switched from a MIS major to electrical engineering. I had to take trig this semester in order to take calc 1 this coming semester. Because calc 1 is a prereq for almost everything, the only other classes I can take next...

OK, so I'm in a real tough decision right now. I am a freshman in college right now, and am about to register for the spring semester. I originally declared as an EE, but to tell you the truth, it really does not interest me, and working 60 hour weeks does not seem like fun. My school has a real...

I'd like to learn about how the fundamentals of how power works and how circuit theory works, while actually keeping a continuum between the fundamentals. In otherwords, I have a BS in physics, and am MSEE, picked up a book on circuit theory, and it was filled with rules with no physics-backed...

I am currently a dual degree major in Physics and Electrical Engineering at Towson University. Well I really should say Physics because my dual degree adviser has been telling me the wrong information about how the program works but that is another story. This is my 5th year and will be...

EE -- Effective Resistance Homework Statement I don't know how to post schematics so I hope this makes sense. There are four resistors in the circuit. An 18 Ohm resistor is the first resistor out of the 5V voltage source followed by three resistors hooked up in parallel. They have a resistance...

Dear all, Unfortunately, we have just learned of the death of one of our members, negitron. Since he was a valuable contributor in this forum, I am posting this announcement for those who might not have seen it in the General Discussion forum. Feel free to add your thoughts, if you wish...

Homework Statement http://rsteiger.is-a-geek.com:81/homework%20question.jpg The question for me is merely conceptual. I'm really good at math (not that a lot would be required here) but I don't even know where to start, hence the lack of an attempt. I'm not looking for the answer (I already...

Hi all, I will get my B.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in Jan 2010, I want to do graduate study in either Theoretical Physics or Mathematics. My GPA is 3.34 With Honor, I have Most Bs in Mathematics, but low physics grades. Am I allowed to do so, If yes what to do to...

I need a book for EE because the only thing I know is the word "volts" Hey guys I'm just started my freshman year in college and I chose EE as my major because its cool. But I realized that not only do I don't know a thing, but it seems that everyone in classes knows the material and knows...

I currently attend a community college and am enrolled in the electrical engineering program, which has been great so far, electricity is extremely interesting to learn about and I assume the same thing about working with it. Anyway, I was just wondering tho if it was realistic to think I could...

Given the current state of the jobs market, would the current Electrical Engineers still encourage new Engineering majors to select EE? Thanks!

Chemistry or EE? How do they differ?

Deciding between 2 senior project areas -- switching from EE to physics Hi, I'm a final year EE undergrad who has taken senior level physics courses on quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, relativity and quantum field theory (next semester). I'm considering a switch to physics, and I'm...

Well, to get straight to the point, I've got a BSc in electrical engineering and have developed an interest in theoretical physics. Since string theory and theoretical physics in general is heavy on math I was wondering if a possible way into the field of theoretical physics might be an MSc in...

From EE to Applied Physics...grad school app, undergraduate courses, no research Hi, I'm a senior undergraduate majoring in Electrical Engineering with a CGPA of 3.84/4.0 (normalized to a scale of 4 -- at my college its on a scale of 10). I'll be entering my final year in a few weeks from...

Ok I have been accepted by university of michigan (ann arbor) as well as george tech(atlanta) for EE. Any advise to choose one from the other is welcome. Thanks.

Hi, I'm going to be entering my senior year of undergrad and I'm pursuing a math and physics degree. I've got a good, high GPA, and really enjoy all of the math classes I've been in. Physics, however (especially particle physics and classical mechanics) were not so enjoyable. With respect to...

Greetings to all, I am a new member and I am hoping to grab the attention of people who might have passed through the same route that I am on or people in similar situation. I'm an EE junior and I am thinking about adding another major; I am in doubt, however. I am not very picky about my...

Im right now entering my third year in Electrical Engineering and I've grown some interest in the area of Power Engineering. For me it's intriguing to know what's behind designing the wiring of a house or a commercial building and how all of the distribution works. Not only in buildings but in...

Hello Guys, I have my Masters in EE and have been working for a 3 years. I am thinking about going for Phd in EE from UAH?? Does anyone know if its a good school for EE? Thanks

Well it's a relatively old question, but I think most people asked about two bs' in EE and Physics. What are peoples opinions on BSEE and a BA in physics? After reading and doing research I don't think it behooves one much to have a bs in both fields, but as for myself I am still very...

I came across another good search engine today looking for a datasheet, so I thought I'd try starting this thread for folks to post useful links. The links should be to technical content, and not to paid services. Good free datasheet search engine: http://www.datasheetpro.com/ Good way to...
