AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the job outlook for Electrical Engineering with a focus on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Radio Frequency/Microwave (RF/Microwaves) and Electromagnetics (E&M). Key points include the inquiry about which concentration offers better job opportunities and versatility, as well as insights into the working environment. Responses indicate that both DSP and RF/Microwaves are in high demand, but the specific job prospects can vary significantly based on individual skills and the specific roles available. The nature of the working environment is also influenced by the chosen concentration, with both fields offering diverse opportunities in various industries. Overall, both paths are considered valuable, and the decision may ultimately depend on personal interests and career goals.

Hey guys and, of course, ladies. I was wondering if anyone knows the job outlook for Electrical Engineering concentrating on DSP and/or RF/Microwaves and E&M. I'm planning to get my M.S. EE at NYU-Poly on either one of the path. I would like to know:

which of the 2 has a better job opportunities?
which of the 2 is more versatile?
the nature of working environment?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Here the link to the courses offered by NYU-Poly

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...

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...
