AI Thread Summary
Electromechanical engineering is a field that offers diverse project opportunities, but the nature of work can vary significantly based on individual interests and career development. Daily responsibilities often depend on the specific role and company, with many engineers experiencing limited control over projects initially. Gaining independence in project management is possible by demonstrating value and successful outcomes, though it can also be influenced by management styles. Career paths may evolve, necessitating adaptability and potential further education as interests change. Ultimately, the experience in this field is shaped by personal initiative and workplace dynamics.

Is anyone here an electromechanical engineer? I think this is the field that I want to get into.

If there is anyone, what kind of projects do you get to work on? What's your usual day at work like? I would imagine that you'd get quite a bit of control over the project, is this true?

thanks,
brandon

Nobody can answer this for you. It really is all about you here. As you grow your interests might change. Then its time to sell someone on how your skills are valuable to the new field. Or go back to school. :biggrin:
I've done both.

Who knows. What I work on now did not exist when I got out of school.
What your day will be like depends a lot on you.

Generally not. You will be told to do XYZ.
However, if you can show that BQR is a benefit, it proves to work and do this a few times you can get a fair amount of independence. Depends on if your boss is a control freak or not. If this is the case it's time to clean up your resume :rolleyes:
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
