Hi everyone, I have a question for anyone who considers themselves adept at designing circuits. I was wondering, how do you approach the design of complicated circuits? What stages do you go through to get from a concept to a real working circuit? I myself am not an electrical engineer...

First of all, I don't come here that often so I didn't know where to post this. I'm still in High School so my question is not really of big importance (yet). I just wanted to know if a triple major in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics is possible (And is it hard?). Thanks for...

hey I'm stumped with a question that deals with finding unknown node voltages as I only know how to complete part of the problem. here is the circuit, sorry for the crude MSPaint I do not have a working scanner here. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/8730/circuiti.png the answers are v1...

Background info Long version: So I was just putzing around here on the web and started looking at this forum for kicks and giggles. The problem is it was making me a tad nervous so I figure I'll ask. I was originally going to go into mechanical engineering, then I thought EE. I applied and...

Homework Statement Find the net mag field at the points asked for. It is just a matter of getting the distances (r values) correct based on the points asked for relative for each wire. http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5906/picf.th.jpg Homework Equations I think the relevant equation is: B =...

Hi, I am torn between these two majors that I will absolutely love. Here are the basics: CS: I think that I would enjoy programming (although at this point, all I really know is a little java), and I like solving puzzles. However, I think that CS might be a little too theoretical for me...

Hi, I am doing EEE at Adelaide University in Australia. I want to major in Micro-electronics. But all of my friends say it is better to major in Power Electronics as the mining industry is booming all over the world. Apparently it looks easier to get a job in mining. But i want to major in...

Hi, I am a junior electrical engineering major at University of Delaware. I want to get my PhD right after I graduate, and I'm not really sure what kind of schools I should apply to. I want to go to school in the northeast and not stray too far from that. Here are the credentials I will have...

Hey guys i was just wondering how hard is it to find a job after getting a BS in EE because today my professor said he has been in the industry for about 10 years and it isn't easy getting a job and he told us to just go to grad school instead, which is kind of discouraging so i was just...

I am a 2nd year physics undergrad and I am thinking about a switch to EE. I like the thought of grad school, maybe to be an engineer, so I want to know if my undergrad in physics is going to prepare me enough. Some of the upper year classes I will be taking are: (all 1 term classes): E&M I...

I am currently working on an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, but I think that for my graduate studies I would like to pursue a masters degree in Physics. Is this possible? My school (University of Waterloo) awards a Bachelor of Applied Science to its engineering graduates...

When I get my bachalor degree in EE how much knowledge will I know about making circuits and understanding things. I know they don't teach you anything but I know I would love to make all kinds of stuff in my spare time as a hobby. I plan to get a Masters also if that helps. Does anyone who...

Hey my name is Abdelrahman I've just graduated this year with a B.S in Electronics and Communication engineering (Egypt) which is basically the regular US EE track but with a special focus on digital and analog circuit design, communication systems and DSP. The problem I'm facing right now (or...

1- I'm currently an undergrad in Telecommunication eingineering. But I'm very much interested in theoretical physics. Can I go for MS and Phd in Physics after engineering? I've taken some physics courses during engineering and also done a lot of self study. 2- I would like to know some best...

I don't know what it is, but I seem to have the hardest time learning about testing equipment. When it comes to learning the material dealing with almost any EE subject I'm fine, but give me a logic analyzer I've never seen before and I can't figure how to use it. For example, I understand the...

Hello, I am going to be going into college in a year, and I am definately interested in becoming an engineer. I am not sure though, what type. I do not actually know a lot about what electric engineers do, and am interested in learning more. I tried to look on the forums about them, but most of...

First let me state I have absolutely no interest in going into academia as a career, just doesn't interest me. I am more interested in industry, not cause money, I don't want to be a professor. I plan on pursuing dual EE/physics major in undergrad, and plan to attend graduate school after. I...

I dropped out of an Electrical Engineering major in my old school, and now I'll be studying Computer Science in another school. Does this pretty much leave me stuck in CS for a Masters? I didn't even finish the basic EE stuff in my old school, like the introduction to circuit analysis stuff...

Hey there's no civil forum so I just wanted to ask. Whats better EE or civil eng. I'm interested in both pretty much. Only exposure I've really had has been with electrical glossing over a couple of friend notes (not understanding them at all but parts of it look interesting), and civil I get...

Would I be able to buy current computer hardware and mod the hell out of it? I.e. overclocking through the BIOS, but if that ain't enough would I be able to tweak the hardware to make it run even faster? Without going insane (no liquid nitrogen!) What other kinds of tinkering can I do with the...

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I couldn't find any threads related to this topic. I'm currently doing my BSc in physics, and I want to know how possible is it after finishing the BSc in physics to start at a masters in Electroengineering? Or maybe it is easier if you have MS in...

I am majoring in EE, 3rd year. Would it be worth take extra year after my 4th and major in Computer Engineering too, or why should I since those two programs are very similar, just a few courses difference. *****btw first two years are common for both programs.

Hey. I'm an EE major at UCLA but I want to work for the aerospace industry. So what kind of jobs would I be able to get, if any? Would I be at a disadvantage to Aerospace Engineers? Also, can I get an aerospace job in Chicago, New York, Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area, Europe, or India?
