I just realized, nearly graduating from an EE program, that I devoted my interests to fields such as power, controls and communications.

Whereas, most of my peers diverged into modern computer related technologies but I'm majoring in power anyways.

I was wondering, will it hurt me since I'm just into math, electromagnetics and not the networking/computer stuff anyways.

I don't think so. It seems that power engineering is something that I see a demand for.

Also you do have to be careful about following the crowd. Sometimes the fact that everyone is running in one direction is a signal that you should be running in another.
 

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

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...

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

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...
