Electrical engineering Definition and 625 Threads

Hey everyone. I'm an Electrical Engineering student, just finished my freshmen year, and now I'm trying to do decide what to do. In the next couple years, I'll have a glut of extra credits (I'll be taking around 10 credits a semester and my university says 13 is full time, and recommends 16 a...

Hello everyone! My problem is easy to explain but somewhat hard. I have to make an ultimate final decision between Physics Engineering and Electrical Engineering:confused: . I tend to be more physics inclined, but I am not sure. I know that ultimately is a conclusion that I by myself must be...

I'm majoring in computer engineering ... so I was wondering if I should double major by majoring in electrical engineering as well? I think what I'm trying to ask is ... 1) What's the importance of this particular double major in terms of jobs? 2)How does it look on grad school...

Alright, here I come again for help! In a series R, L, C circuit, the values of the passive elements are R=5ohm, L=1H, and C=10uF. The output voltage is taken across R, and te input voltage signal is of variable frequency. Using Electronics Workbench, obtain a plot of V0(t) as a frequency f...

Hi, I'm wondering if mechanical engineering requires a fairly extensive knowledge of the basics of electrical engineering eg. circuit theory and the practical side of it.

I am currently taking calculus for engineers and we are supposed to come up with a project that uses calculus to solve problems in an area we are interested in. I am majoring in Electrical Engineering, but i am only a freshman so I don't really know much yet. My problem is simple, the prof was...

I'm currently in my third year of college majoring in electrical engineering. I'm just now starting to worry about the different kind of jobs that are available out there. I was hoping some electrical engineers can describe their typical days at work. I just have no clue to what exactly a...

I've been reading Physics Forums for only a couple of weeks now. And from what I've read, this would be a really great place to gather some helpful advice for going back to college. I was hoping you folks could lend a hand. I graduated high school in 2000 with a good GPA. I have an Associates...

i will be an undergraduate student of electrical engineering this fall. i have some questions about what i may have to expect. for some clarification: i will be studying at ryerson university. i generally want to know how much of what we learned in my final year of high school i will need...

How tough would it be to double major in EE and physics at a respected institution (say MIT)? Paden Roder

I believe that computer science is very important to EE because of firmware and so on. I was wondering, the firmware of a dvd player can be upgraded (i did that to mine to gain extra features) however that is limited by the chipset. But it seems like dvd manufacturers prefer to release a new...

Many students pursue Mechanical and Electrical Engineering rather than Aerospace Engineering. Only a few student takes Aerospace Enginerring. Do you know why?

Physics vs. Electrical Engineering... :( ****This is a long post**** I hate having to make this decision, but I think I have to. When I first wanted to get into physics (I love physics, it comes so naturally to me, and it's very interesting), I didn't know what I'd be getting myself into...

help with electrical engineering course! hi there Im 17, in New Zealand and doing an electrical engineering course from home, it would be great if there were a few people out there that I could bounce things off from time to time. thanks a lot your time -Reuben mitz_fitz@hotmail.com

which type of engineering, mechanical or electrical is the most difficult?

What is the difference between Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering?

Hi you all i am looking for some introductory texts on electrical engineering...you know , how does an opamp work ,and so on ...anyone got some nice online courses ? marlon

Hello everyone... As you can notice from my posts ! I'm a fresh to this forum. It's one of my first visits. There are bunch of topics in this forum and all I thought it was about physics...lol I didn't have time to take a look at the enormous posts and threads of this site. So, what do you...

I'm a high school senior who is interested in engineering. I am taking Calculus and honors physics and earn solid grades. I am helpless :confused: when it comes to my future though. I have no idea what field to go into. I hear Electrical engineering has a good outlook but I have no idea...

Is there anyone here who is into this field? What type of undergraduate degree did you get? I'm doing Electrical engineering with a computer science minor. Is this a good background for someone who would like to go into photonics? I'd love to go into the field of quantum computing...

Hi, I study electrical engineering. I have passed the exams of mathematics and I don't have classes of mathematics anymore. Although I have passed mathematical exams with high grades, I have forgotten many things since I don't learn these things separately. Actually a quick look at the notes is...

Hi, It's my first year in electronic engineering. I wonder what I can do to begin working on electrical things even if I don't know anything about it? I don't know much about my job actually and want to create a hobby related to it so that I can like it in the future. How can I make a circuit...

I am thinking of becomming an electrical engineer and was wondering how everyone liked there job what kind of job do they have exactly and maybe what one could exspect for a salary in this field

For a robotics project i have to make an electrical circuit in which 5 light sensors need to light 5 corresponding LEDs.The LED must only turn on when the light sensors detect the infrared light from a laser pointer and afterwards must stay on permanently(assuming the battery is still...

I am in college to get a degree in electrical engineering. Of course the college knows best and thinks I should get a feel for mechanical engineering too! This is quiet annoying considering I am wasting many, MANY class hours with subjects I do not need. Has anybody else found this a terrible...
