"What is Electrical and Computer Engineering -- really?"
|
Undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering
|
In theory what is it?
Electrical and
Computer Engineers design, plan, research, evaluate and test the operation
and performance of electrical, electronic equipment, and computer equipment. What
is it used for?
For the advancement of technology
and materials....
Examples of technologies implemented in these industries
are: Micro-electro/mechanical systems
Expert Systems
Optical
communications
Wireless communications
Microprocessor controls
Robotics
Programmable controllers
High-definition television
What does the major actually entail — work-wise
There's two different answers to this question, depending upon if
you do your own work or not. A lot
of engineers cheat off each other and use old tests
from previous years. This can be one of the
laziest majors out there. On the flipside, it can
be the hardest major at your school. If you
want to do a good job grade wise and actually
learn the material instead of cheating, the curriculum is very
challenging. Be prepared to spend a lot of days,
nights, and weekends studying for a final or wiring up
a final project. What kind of jobs do you get
with it?
Graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering
prepares you for an extremely wide variety of careers in
almost any industry worldwide. Examples of the type of industries
you could work in: Communications
Computers
Automotive
Electronics
Instrumentation
Integrated
Circuits
Automation
Medical
Power
Aerospace What are the fellow students
like (personalitywise) in it? Now, some of the stereotypical nerds
are in this major. They do nothing else but
sit in front of a computer and play those stupid
LAN games and have no life outside of the lab
whatsoever. There is another type of electrical engineering student
though. The type that want to suceed in college
and do something meaningful with their lives but are not
nerds in the slightest. The guys that I talk
to in the department are in numerous intramaural sports, go
bar hopping a couple times a week and actually have
girlfriends, yeeahhhh I know, hard to believe for a engineering
major. As you know I am a student and
I've been skydiving, been on trips with buddies to vegas
and miami beach, captain intramaural basketball team and play a
lot of texas hold em. Common Misconceptions
Not everyone
in the department is a completee nerd that has no
personal communication skills. Engineering will make you a comfortable
amount of money, but will not make you rich.
Most of the time you salary will hover around the
78,000 range. Most engineering students have very little respect
for majors outside the sciences. We pretty much laugh
out loud when someone tells us they are having trouble
with their economics class. Any class other than science
is a cakewalk. |
