Hi. I'm new here, so sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. Wasn't sure if I needed to post this in the Homework section, but this is basically something for an in-school project.

I need to interview a Computer Hardware Engineer for my Principles of Engineering class at my high school. If anyone here is a Computer Hardware Engineer, it would be much appreciated if you could answer some of my interview questions.

  1. What influenced you to apply for this career?
  2. What is your approximate annual salary?
  3. Do you enjoy working in this career and why?
  4. What are some advantages and disadvantages of working in this field?
  5. What courses in high school are required/recommended to become a Computer Hardware Engineer? in college?
  6. Is there a demand in the work force for computer hardware engineers?
  7. What advice would you give to students who are interested in this career?
  8. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best; what would you rate this career?

Sorry, we no longer allow interview threads here on the PF. They can sometimes be used for identity info mining, so we stopped allowing them. Thread locked.

I'll PM you answers to some of the questions, though.
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
