Engineering Electronic engineering technology and signal processing

AI Thread Summary
There is a growing interest in job opportunities within analog and digital signal processing, filters, and amplifiers for those with a diploma in electronics engineering technology. However, many job listings often require a degree in electrical engineering, which can be a barrier for diploma holders. The discussion highlights the importance of foundational knowledge in calculus, as the individual has completed two calculus courses that cover differentiation, integration, and applied calculus relevant to circuits. This background may provide a solid base for self-study in advanced topics typically covered in a degree program. Exploring self-learning resources could help bridge the gap in knowledge and enhance job prospects in the field.

hello I am in the final year of my electronics engineering technology program and I've really developed an interest in subjects such as analog and digital signal processing, filters, amplifiers, etc.

are there jobs in these areas for people at my level? I've been doing some job searching and it seems that they all require some sort of degree in electrical engineering. I am only in a diploma program and if i could afford doing a longer degree program, i would. but what subjects would i be missing? i guess i could probably learn these on my own from books too

For starters, does your diploma cover any calculus?
 
We have had two calculus courses, the first covering the basics of differentiation and integration, and second course is on applied calculus to simple circuits, using laplace transforms and Fourier series.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
