AI Thread Summary
In the discussion, participants emphasize the importance of understanding various circuit types in the optoelectronics field, particularly microprocessors and digital logic circuits, as they are crucial for device integration and functionality. There is a recognition that while optoelectronics focuses on material properties and device structures, a solid foundation in circuit design is essential for practical applications and industry relevance. The conversation highlights the dual career path of pursuing academia while also considering industry needs, suggesting that expertise in high-demand areas like microprocessors can enhance job prospects and consulting opportunities. Overall, a balance between theoretical knowledge in optoelectronics and practical skills in circuit design is deemed beneficial for graduates aiming for both teaching and industry roles.

I don't know, but I am interested in getting into optoelectronics in grad schol myself (dual major in EE and applied physics) so I would like to know what is most attractive to industry. My goal is to become a university professor, but it would be nice to specialize in an area that is coveted by industry so that I have a backup plan, or I can go into consulting on the side when I get a PE while I teach (from what I hear, consulting pays big money if you specialize in the right field)
 
I'm not sure why you would focus on circuits if you're doing optoelectronics. I think optoelectronics is mainly about how to build better devices by exploiting material properties, device structure, etc...
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
