AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the impact of final year courses on career prospects for electrical engineering (EE) graduates. The individual is concerned about how specific courses, such as MEMS, lasers and optoelectronics, and RF, may influence their job search and potential career path. There is a consensus that the courses taken can shape expertise and interests, which may affect job opportunities in the EE field. However, flexibility exists, as many employers value a broad skill set and adaptability over specific coursework. Ultimately, while final year classes can guide career direction, they do not rigidly dictate job market options.

Hi, I am entering my final year of school here in Western New york. I will be graduating with an EE degree. I am curious as to what role the courses you take your final year play in what field of study you get into afterwards. I plan on taking a MEMS class, lasers and optoelectronics, and maybe a RF course. My fear is I take these courses and then decide will looking for employment to look in a different branch of the EE field.
In short, do the classes you take while in your final year of school effect you in the job market?

Thanks!

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
