AI Thread Summary
Electrical engineers (EEs) in aerospace focus on various critical areas such as avionics, power systems, flight controls, and actuators, contributing to the overall functionality of aircraft and spacecraft. Their work excludes aeronautics and structural engineering, emphasizing the integration of electronic systems in aviation technology. EEs play a vital role in developing systems for signature control and enhancing aircraft performance. This specialization allows them to engage in innovative projects that drive advancements in aerospace engineering. Understanding these roles is essential for anyone pursuing a career in aerospace engineering.

I've been doing some general EE research, what I'd be doing if I did actually make it through all the courses. My question is, what do EE's do in aerospace? since that is my ultimate goal.

Everything but the aeronautics and structural engineering.

Avionics, signature control, power systems, actuators, flight controls, and more.
 
Fun, that's actually what I was looking for, thanks.
 

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
