Get to electrical engineering everyone before everyone catches on. Once you’ve graduated and it’s become a popular field you’ll be a standout with expierence
I graduated from Electrical Engineering earlier this year and EE's were pretty much the only cohort who had jobs lined up right after finishing. The only people who didn't start working right out the door were people who wanted to do a PhD for more specialized chip design kind of jobs. I almost gave up the degree because the math was kicking my ass, but I'm so glad I stuck with it.
Congratulations on your degree! I have been an electrical/RF engineer for more than 35 years and it's has been an incredibly exciting ride. Best wishes for your career. Go to Johns Hopkins in the evening to get your masters. I did that when I lived in Maryland and it really enhances your career, especially in Radio Engineering.
@@scythemachine1894 RF engineering is going through changes, but new technology is going to make opportunities explode. Try to get assignments that are technically challenging. When starting out, you need to treat your job like college where you studied for free. You only learn the basics in college. You will do best if you study in your free time to understand everything you can about the technology on which you are working and how to do your job. It gets easier over time. Getting a masters degree will open doors for you.
@@manomag-v11 I couldn't have picked a better career. I run a lot of simulations, but also build and test a lot of hardware, so it's about 50% screen time, at most. I've developed scientific instruments for NASA and operated them on-orbit, cell phones, imaging radar, medical implants and invented a new RF technology which I believe will greatly benefit humanity.
I switched from computer science to electrical engineering and was wondering if I was making the right decision, but this video really reinforces that I did. Thank you for the insight!
@@EndietheEnderman I work in IT not programming but I had never seen a programmer actually caring about the product they work on, but I did work in an electrical company and engineers were so happy with the work they were doing.
I don’t mean to be rude, but comparing the lesser salary never does any good for the employee. $85K first year is good and average adjusted for inflation compared to salaries previously they can also change based on location. Most engineering students should expect $60K-$90K in their first year with some salaries as high like as $110K (prodigies, elite schools, hot fields, HCOL) and as low as $50K (easy job, LCOL, state college).
Yeah bro I’m in San Antonio and am currently first year in electrical engineering. It’s nice to see someone close talking about electrical engineering thank you and good luck !
Electromagnetism is the most eye opening course I have ever taken. Electrical Engineers get to learn some cool concepts, too bad I'm just a CS student hahah.
@@Deniz06-n6mhahah if I had the time I would, but I got too many other things I wanna do. E&M is a big time commitment, the math involved is non trivial and I don’t got extra time right now to learn vector calc and then higher level E&M. Someday perhaps.
I appreciate the insight. This week I'm starting an electronic engineering technology associates, and I want to get a BS in electrical engineering later.
During your journey, try to get acclimated with Xpedition Designer, altium, Matlab, and python. Add CST studio for students for RF jobs. This is the way to separate yourself from new grads, having experience with actual corporate software.
I did something very similar, i did an associate in electrical and renewable energy technology, got my licenses, and am now studying electrical engineering with a concentration in power systems. Hope you do well
This is so true! I too have a degree in EE engineering and a little before graduating, I was offered a job as a clinical engineer, which is mainly in the biomedical spectrum of engineering.
Omg… you just answered my question without asking it. I’m super interested in electrical engineering but I was trying to find if you can be a clinical engineer or work in the medical field bc I love a lot engineering side in the medical field. I know biomedical engineering is like that but is a niche field, that’s why I’m kind skeptical about it and that’s why EE is my top choice bc u can work in any industry.
I also come from west african heritage and have been debating computer engineering vs electrical engineering. Hearing the story of another person from a similar background is inspiring. It’s sounding like electrical engineering is the way to go!
Computer Engineering is also a really good choice. The only problem is there a so many recruiters that will just group you in with computer science because it starts with “computer” and not actually see that your skills are so much different. I personally love computer engineering. (Fourth year Computer Engineer)
i feel like computer is the better way to go because it encompasses both hardware and software. there is also the major ECE (Electrical and computer engineering) which is not offered everywhere, but definitely one of the best values.
So true hard tech physical systems are the way to go. I’m a computer scientist graduate but now I’m working as an electrician to get licensed since that work can’t be outsourced. I’m excited to tie the two together once I’m finished the apprenticeship.
I thought of this before but I always doubted myself cause I didnt grow up tinkering with electronics. But now Im 20 and trying to make electronics a hobby and having desires to pursue this in college. Thanks for the video man
I graduated with a BS in EE in 2018 and it took me 4 years to land my first job ... Im working in defense as a radar systems engineer. This year(2024) i made $95k with less than 2 years experience(P1, i will reach my 2 year mark, P2, in April 2025)... yes, you will get tons of recruiters asking you if your interested in a job, but does not mean you are getting hired. I work with EE, ME, and Software engineers. I do a little bit of everything. Flashing new firmware and testing on circuit cards, project planning, build electrical block diagrams, data analysis, redlining old manuals etc... Not every EE is building PCBs and drawing electrical schematics unless that is specifically your job title. I work with EEs and they are not involved in deep electronic troubleshooting as you would expect. I have access to all their schematics and are expected to troubleshoot electrical failures on my own whenever the actual EEs are not around... FYI, if you're a black engineer, you should lean towards defense because they are more likely to hire you. They are contractors for the US government and are producing the most sophisticated missiles, and radar technology in the world, depending on where you work. No reason to feel as though defense engineering isn't a respectable career. There is always work to do and you will be surrounded by some of the smartest people you will ever encounter in life. My office is in Massachusetts and I work with MIT and Harvard graduates.
Im about to graduate Mechanical Engineering this December 2024, but Im making plans on getting my MD in electrical engineering in a few years to work in signal analysis. I fell in love with electro mechanical control systems when I took the course in my Junior year. Too bad I didnt realize it was Electrical engineering I was interested in
Great video, I am now in Computer engineering and it is always cool to see fellow engineer's experience, thank you very much ! Good luck for you career !
This was a really good video, I’m currently an AE engineer and I absolutely love what I’m learning so far in my freshmen year but at the end of the day my goals to make as much money as possible and I am in doubt as to whether I wanna keep going in my field or in a year switch to mechanical or electrical.
Currently a junior at utrgv and watching this video just made me realize that this is the path im definitely looking forward too in electrical engineering
Wow man. I like your videos. I am preparing to return to school this coming spring semester to study engineering. I will be taking the intro courses such as calculus and chemistry, but I am looking forward to it! I am 35 and have a bachelors in an unrelated subject
Yo thanks Jodabeni for sharing your experience as becoming an engineer! I recently graduated this May from SJ state as an EE and did the dumb mistake of taking a break after graduation 😅. I’m living in the SF Bay Area so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find something entry level. Can you make a video about your experience curating your resume and possibly the interview process or preparation for landing the first job? Greatly appreciate the content you put out and it’s been helping me out a lot these last few weeks.
I graduated with a B.S in industrial engineering, and Electrical engineering folks have way more opportunities because EE can do what IE can do, but not the other way around
@@OneMic3 it’s been a struggle for me, I work full time and I have kids. The math is the worse part. My advice would be pick your own learning path like for robotics or something you like
Thanks bro! This really motivated me! I’m a sophomore at a UNC Charlotte pursuing my EE degree and differential equations is kicking me in the brain 🧠. But I’m not giving up !
Man oh man, id go computer engineering/electrical if i could but my cs degree path would be muuch faster and unfortunately i cant really do an electrical drgree online. But I plan to get a masters in computer engineer and I have been self teaching myself electronics and physics daily. I agree man, the path of EE is dope, i didnt even know it was a thing till i got further in my cs degree and im 32 lol! Sometimes ya just dont know but its all good, i really like hardware so for me to combine coding with something physical is definitely interesting to me. Good video man. Was nice to hear another person's perspective on EE
u graduated in utrgv congrats im currently going to STC for hvac associates and i love electrical work and i already enlisted for the army reserves and pursue my EE degree
I have always had doubts about my future. I changed from mechanical engineering to electrical power engineering. Now I have to complete my bachelor's degree (cause I'm at the end of it) but I intend to do a master's in electronic engineering. I will definitely have to recover exams about tlc, programming, signals, digital electronics as single courses from other degrees in my uni before starting the master and I will have to move because there is no electronic engineering in my city. But now i finally feel that this is my future. I will finish my academic path a little bit later but at least I will do what I like. Electronics applications are so wide, from electrical vehicles, power electronics to embedded systems, and as an electrical engineer you can also learn lots of computer science and programming, getting a general vision of everything you like (or at least for me 😂).
"No one wants to do electrical engineering" Meanwhile in our univercity we got over 300 electrical engineers in the first year. It has the most people in the campus. Everyone wants to become an electrical engineer.
There will come a time in the near future where technology will be so far advanced that robots will be able to do your jobs. Japan is already leaps ahead of the world but the world with eventually catchup.
Hi , thanks for sharing your insight into the Electrical engineering field. Will be graduating from my electrical Engineering degree this month in Africa.
Engineering is for smart people, such as yourself. .......................If someonen is not smart OR, doesn't have a deep enjoyment of the material, don't do it, they will waste money or be in debt for a degree they didn't complete.
I’m starting Uni soon and currently majored in EE and CS. How difficult would this be? I think it is worth it but I don’t know if I will over-stress myself. I am hoping that with a lot of organization in my schedule I can make it work well but please let me know if this is a good or bad idea or if you know anyone who has done this. Thank you for the video. Makes me excited for my future. Keep going w these ! 😄
The reason I’m switching from computer science to EE is because I’ve seen a guy land a software engineer job with a degree in EE. And I can always get my masters in Comp Science. It’s just two extra years 🤷🏾♂️ that’s so quick
I'm studying EE rn and looking into RF hardware/front end, systems, communication systems engineering, antenna engineering. My main gripe is whether i would be okay with working for the defense industry, especially for warfare applications. but the availability of jobs / demand for RF engineers and relatively competitive pay is appealing. but geographic relocation / restriction to urban/higher COL areas is another gripe.... but i'd rather study and pursue a career in something im interested in, passionate about rather than something boring
@@IffyEdem i was interested in active duty to catch a break from the college life for a few years & to get some work experience as a 21 yr old. any reason u think reserves > AD?
Currently a sophomore at UTRGV for electrical engineering, really appreciate this video man! You got any recommendations for joining any programs or specific professors at the university?
Is it too late for me to shift to Electrical Engineering if I’m already in my 3rd year of Computer Engineering? The reason I’m considering this change is that, in the current job market here in the Philippines, Computer Engineering seems to be somewhat undervalued (maybe, just my observation in job websites). The majority of job opportunities are focused on software and website development. Perhaps I’m not fully aware of the potential opportunities available to someone with a Computer Engineering degree, but this has made me question my current path.
I’m an electrician. When i was in school we would also look over what the electrical engineer does. I became interested I really wanted to do it I’m already in electrical school. I looked at the EE curriculum. Calculus 1 calculus 2 calculus 3. Differential equations equations linear algebra. I failed pre calculus in high school. So I just decided not to do it. Might as well say you’re a math major
Hi Jodabeni this video was really informative, I am currently a senior for a bachelors in EE. I was wondering how you were able to properly learn and retain information related to circuit design and basic EE formulas. I was also wondering if you had advise on how to make connections with recruiters to find a job. Thank you!
Great vid! Made me subscribe instantly 👍 I'm on my way to declaring an EE major, just gotta get the prereqs out of the way first. What are your thoughts on specializing in the degree? For instance, EE degree with Communications specialization. Do you think that's better than studying a more general, comprehensive EE degree? Would love to know your thoughts. Keep the videos coming 👌
Is it worth starting school for the first time at 25? I feel behind and don’t know how to finance it and if it is worth it or even possible to study ee. The debt, housing, food. All of that. I thought about community college for associates. I work full time right now. I just don’t know if it is worth quitting and committing, maybe take 2 courses for a few semesters and decide? It is a 50min 50 mile drive one way. Idk if it is worth the commute, the time, miles, money. Then I would have to move to another town for the final 2 years and pay for housing there too.
Go to work for an amazon warehouse if you can. They’ll accommodate you for school and pay for school. I’m 24. I started school when I was 23. Just do it now because when you’re 30 you’re gonna be like “dangggg man I should’ve went to school 5 years ago”. Just get it done so you can set up your life. You’re at a perfect age, you may be even smarter compared to your younger self. Go and give it your all. 💙
That's what I did. I'm 27 now and almost done with my engineering associates at community college. Luckily my parents are helping but I would still do it if they weren't because it will be worth it in the end. I started with 1 class and worked my way up adding another one each semester. I almost failed highschool because I never developed study habits so my main focus was to learn discipline and build momentum and self confidence.
I also see the same thing about job problems, as a Student of EE outside the US, how often do you see Foreign talents getting opportunities in EE in the US abd what paths do you see as a way to get harness the plethora of opportunities in the US. Ty
I’m at utrgv right now, doing my undergraduate in computer engineering with a focus in software and my graduate program in electrical engineering. I want to become an integrated systems or hardware engineer, am I taking the right education path for the career or should I focus my undergraduate on more electrical and study programming languages on the side?
Lead with your interest. Undergraduate isn't easy, it helps to lead with what you like first. While including courses that will help you continue growing in the secondary field you're interested in. If it was me, Electrical Engineering math courses go all the way up to differential equations. I would rather complete those in my undergraduate, you have room for C's. Masters you don't...That being said, you can always keep what you have but include your Circuits classes, and the top ELEE courses that directly relate to what you want to do...
I'm a EE who is interest in DSP digital signal processing and machine learning application integration. And I encountered a CS kid who said isn't EE just circuits and welding😭 How can I educate him?
Do you think MEP'S companies (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) is a good route for an electrical engineer out of college? I think I mgiht wanna get a P.E. license down the road, just really lost im in my second year of school
Hi, I’m studying EE and my partner is an embedded engineer with CE degree. He is currently working as an embedded and feels as though the environment is very senior and not as motivating as the big ones. He wants to switch and do devOps, because he feels they somewhat underpay the hardware guys? That’s his experience too as an African developer in his 20s. I studied EE at a PWI, and while it is definitely chewing steel doing this major, I wonder about the RF engineering field, and whether it’s mostly senior experienced veterans as well? What other pathways would you recommend that aren’t too hardware? I’ve had exposure to the construction industry in particular and with Lockheed.
Was curious if anyone has been in my situation because I could use some feedback. I’m 24 and have been a test technician for 3 years. I’m thinking about going back to school full time and getting my BA, I already have an associates in laser technology but it will only transfer a semesters worth of work. Does it even make sense to go back for a little over 3 and a half more years to get my BA in electrical engineering? I’d like to but it just seems like a lot more extra work than I wanted it to be.
Electric Engineering is terrible in most places! Unless you like working in cubicles and dealing with toxic politics. The meetings are so boring and soul-draining. Then you work long hours so forget about that work-life balance.
Well done 👍🏾 Do you encourage me to equivalent my electrical engineering technology certification from a technical college that is not ABET and stopped giving a bachelor degree a few years ago? If yes, do you think I'll get a decent job if I choose The University of Houston major in Electrical Power Engineering Technology?
@Ddddaah it’s basically a lot of calculus,1,2,3,4 Differential of equations Linear Algebra Physics:Electricity and Magnetism Mechanics Thermodynamics You also have to take some programming classes ( Java, Python) Engineering classes: Electrical circuits, some designing classes depending on your school this is most of what you have to learn during your first 3 years I will say After that usually is when you’re going for your bachelor degree where you have to learn classes where it’s a mixture of physics classes (electrical circuit 2 for example), electronics and computer science. If you manage to be good with Physics and Math in general you will be good because everything else builds up on that
Hi, awesome video! Is there a big difference between electrical engineering technology vs electrical engineering? Does EET also share the advantages as EE? Thank you!
im a electrical engineer too in a shithole 3rdworld country. ive been job hopping for 20 years. been in engineering construction management 10 years and building facilities management 10 years. i used to decide to either computer science or this but fortunately i pick electrical. i love software as a kid i find it fancy and in the movies those hackers . but fortunately i didnt go for the hype. not bragging about but ive had double my salary offers 3 x laat year but didnt go for it. i like my job now because its too convinient for me. but im really getting board again and i dont know if i could still last for another year. i was already able to fix all the buildings major problems in 5 years and i feel really board now lol. i might job hop once again for those wfh setup job just to experience what that feels like
@@Jodabeni i dont know. i dont feel i really achieved someting despite a good resume. maybe i dont really like a management job but. management job is the one with higher pay here
Get to electrical engineering everyone before everyone catches on. Once you’ve graduated and it’s become a popular field you’ll be a standout with expierence

The difficulty is the ultimate gatekeeper. Computer science is sexy and not as difficult.
Yeah, that’ll stop it from ever exploding in popularity like CS.

Good video man. Was nice to hear another person's perspective on EE
All facts. Electrical Engineering on top
Great work man!
Thank you! Cheers!
u graduated in utrgv congrats im currently going to STC for hvac associates and i love electrical work and i already enlisted for the army reserves and pursue my EE degree
That’s awesome man !! Good luck
Thanks for sharing . This I’d love a day in the life . I’m confused what you do day to day .
I'm interested in having food and bills paid. I slacked in college and didn't finish... Plumbing pays well but man I wish I was an engineer
Do it!
I really needed to hear that regret
I have always had doubts about my future.
I changed from mechanical engineering to electrical power engineering. Now I have to complete my bachelor's degree (cause I'm at the end of it) but I intend to do a master's in electronic engineering.
I will definitely have to recover exams about tlc, programming, signals, digital electronics as single courses from other degrees in my uni before starting the master and I will have to move because there is no electronic engineering in my city. But now i finally feel that this is my future.
I will finish my academic path a little bit later but at least I will do what I like.
Electronics applications are so wide, from electrical vehicles, power electronics to embedded systems, and as an electrical engineer you can also learn lots of computer science and programming, getting a general vision of everything you like (or at least for me 😂).
Good video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
"No one wants to do electrical engineering" Meanwhile in our univercity we got over 300 electrical engineers in the first year. It has the most people in the campus. Everyone wants to become an electrical engineer.
Where u from?
There will come a time in the near future where technology will be so far advanced that robots will be able to do your jobs. Japan is already leaps ahead of the world but the world with eventually catchup.
Congrats bro.
Best wishes.
Thank you! Same to you
Hi , thanks for sharing your insight into the Electrical engineering field. Will be graduating from my electrical Engineering degree this month in Africa.
Congratulations!!
Congrats for your degree !!
Thank you!
The corporate life is designed for you to live not to win
Engineering is for smart people, such as yourself. .......................If someonen is not smart OR, doesn't have a deep enjoyment of the material, don't do it, they will waste money or be in debt for a degree they didn't complete.
Im glad youtube recommended this channel to me. Im going into second year of electronics engineering
That’s awesome, good luck!
I’m starting Uni soon and currently majored in EE and CS. How difficult would this be? I think it is worth it but I don’t know if I will over-stress myself. I am hoping that with a lot of organization in my schedule I can make it work well but please let me know if this is a good or bad idea or if you know anyone who has done this. Thank you for the video. Makes me excited for my future. Keep going w these ! 😄
Nice to hear someone on UA-cam graduate from UTRGV 🎉
The reason I’m switching from computer science to EE is because I’ve seen a guy land a software engineer job with a degree in EE. And I can always get my masters in Comp Science. It’s just two extra years 🤷🏾♂️ that’s so quick
Exactly what I’m doing
I'm studying EE rn and looking into RF hardware/front end, systems, communication systems engineering, antenna engineering. My main gripe is whether i would be okay with working for the defense industry, especially for warfare applications. but the availability of jobs / demand for RF engineers and relatively competitive pay is appealing. but geographic relocation / restriction to urban/higher COL areas is another gripe.... but i'd rather study and pursue a career in something im interested in, passionate about rather than something boring
This video is 4 years late, I am fresh graduated Computer Engineer working in Deep Learning / ML department
Thats awesome, currently working on my masters in AI
What are your thoughts on computer engineering
We know which video inspired you to drive around and make a video on engineering 👀
Ayeee hahah ! Sharp mans
fax, i chose comp sci but the more i learn abt EE the more i like it. ima also join the military but might have to change majors after i get back lol
Military guard or reserves is not a bad deal
Im active. Go guard or reserves. Get an army intel job for the top secret clearance. And apply for gov jobs
@@IffyEdem i was interested in active duty to catch a break from the college life for a few years & to get some work experience as a 21 yr old. any reason u think reserves > AD?
@@IffyEdem like national guard? and reserves of what specifically? thanks
Can you make a resume video
Currently a sophomore at UTRGV for electrical engineering, really appreciate this video man! You got any recommendations for joining any programs or specific professors at the university?
Is it too late for me to shift to Electrical Engineering if I’m already in my 3rd year of Computer Engineering?
The reason I’m considering this change is that, in the current job market here in the Philippines, Computer Engineering seems to be somewhat undervalued (maybe, just my observation in job websites). The majority of job opportunities are focused on software and website development. Perhaps I’m not fully aware of the potential opportunities available to someone with a Computer Engineering degree, but this has made me question my current path.
Congratulations wish i were you rn life sucks
I’m an electrician. When i was in school we would also look over what the electrical engineer does. I became interested I really wanted to do it I’m already in electrical school. I looked at the EE curriculum. Calculus 1 calculus 2 calculus 3. Differential equations equations linear algebra. I failed pre calculus in high school. So I just decided not to do it. Might as well say you’re a math major
Dude. I failed trig twice, stats 3 times, calc 3 three times and I’m almost through mg degree
Your discord link doesn't work bro could you remake it
Didnt even know, thank you . discord.gg/D7BEWVZMdm
Hi Jodabeni this video was really informative, I am currently a senior for a bachelors in EE. I was wondering how you were able to properly learn and retain information related to circuit design and basic EE formulas. I was also wondering if you had advise on how to make connections with recruiters to find a job. Thank you!
Great video
Thank you
Great vid! Made me subscribe instantly 👍 I'm on my way to declaring an EE major, just gotta get the prereqs out of the way first. What are your thoughts on specializing in the degree? For instance, EE degree with Communications specialization. Do you think that's better than studying a more general, comprehensive EE degree? Would love to know your thoughts.
Keep the videos coming 👌
I made a video just for you : ua-cam.com/video/EIVUXHGFeVU/v-deo.htmlsi=FF4Y6MJxe0mBhNKm
Is it worth starting school for the first time at 25? I feel behind and don’t know how to finance it and if it is worth it or even possible to study ee. The debt, housing, food. All of that. I thought about community college for associates. I work full time right now. I just don’t know if it is worth quitting and committing, maybe take 2 courses for a few semesters and decide? It is a 50min 50 mile drive one way. Idk if it is worth the commute, the time, miles, money. Then I would have to move to another town for the final 2 years and pay for housing there too.
Go to work for an amazon warehouse if you can. They’ll accommodate you for school and pay for school. I’m 24. I started school when I was 23. Just do it now because when you’re 30 you’re gonna be like “dangggg man I should’ve went to school 5 years ago”. Just get it done so you can set up your life. You’re at a perfect age, you may be even smarter compared to your younger self. Go and give it your all. 💙
Also do internships. They’ll pay you a vast amount of money. You don’t need to come from some prestige school, just get the degree.
Check the video I did today , if money is the biggest issue!
That's what I did. I'm 27 now and almost done with my engineering associates at community college. Luckily my parents are helping but I would still do it if they weren't because it will be worth it in the end. I started with 1 class and worked my way up adding another one each semester. I almost failed highschool because I never developed study habits so my main focus was to learn discipline and build momentum and self confidence.
Make a video about making a resume
What do you think about mechatronics engineering? I got accepted in mechatronics this year and i want to know your opinion about it 😅
❤❤❤
I was just thinking about what major to go into lol. Thanks
Good luck man!
Yes, please talk about the resume.
Me studying electrical engineering in college right now, 0 women in our class. Feeling like I'm in Priest school
Feel ur pain bro....in ma class there are only 2 G
I also see the same thing about job problems, as a Student of EE outside the US, how often do you see Foreign talents getting opportunities in EE in the US abd what paths do you see as a way to get harness the plethora of opportunities in the US. Ty
I’m at utrgv right now, doing my undergraduate in computer engineering with a focus in software and my graduate program in electrical engineering. I want to become an integrated systems or hardware engineer, am I taking the right education path for the career or should I focus my undergraduate on more electrical and study programming languages on the side?
Lead with your interest. Undergraduate isn't easy, it helps to lead with what you like first. While including courses that will help you continue growing in the secondary field you're interested in.
If it was me, Electrical Engineering math courses go all the way up to differential equations. I would rather complete those in my undergraduate, you have room for C's. Masters you don't...That being said, you can always keep what you have but include your Circuits classes, and the top ELEE courses that directly relate to what you want to do...
Abibas.
Your welcomed.
?
I'm a EE who is interest in DSP digital signal processing and machine learning application integration. And I encountered a CS kid who said isn't EE just circuits and welding😭 How can I educate him?
Don’t bother
thnx sirrrrrr
My pleasure
Do you think MEP'S companies (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) is a good route for an electrical engineer out of college? I think I mgiht wanna get a P.E. license down the road, just really lost im in my second year of school
Can I target kind of same career opportunities with a degree in electronics and computer science? It is the degree available to me.
Man this whole market is messed up, time to capitalize on motivational videos for Computer Science and engineering students haha tik tok here I come
As long as you’re helping others!
Show us ur soccer skills
Amigo quiero estudiar ingeniería eléctrica a los 38 años crees que ya es demasiado tarde?
nunca es tarde.
Hi, I’m studying EE and my partner is an embedded engineer with CE degree. He is currently working as an embedded and feels as though the environment is very senior and not as motivating as the big ones. He wants to switch and do devOps, because he feels they somewhat underpay the hardware guys? That’s his experience too as an African developer in his 20s. I studied EE at a PWI, and while it is definitely chewing steel doing this major, I wonder about the RF engineering field, and whether it’s mostly senior experienced veterans as well? What other pathways would you recommend that aren’t too hardware? I’ve had exposure to the construction industry in particular and with Lockheed.
Was curious if anyone has been in my situation because I could use some feedback. I’m 24 and have been a test technician for 3 years. I’m thinking about going back to school full time and getting my BA, I already have an associates in laser technology but it will only transfer a semesters worth of work. Does it even make sense to go back for a little over 3 and a half more years to get my BA in electrical engineering? I’d like to but it just seems like a lot more extra work than I wanted it to be.
I made a video for you. It will be public at 9 Am!
Bro i have two year gap after bachelors in electrical engineering and i have no experience does it affect finding a job
i’m in my first semester taking pre reqs. how would you recommend I get ready for the journey ahead of me if I want to be an electrical engineer
Electric Engineering is terrible in most places! Unless you like working in cubicles and dealing with toxic politics. The meetings are so boring and soul-draining. Then you work long hours so forget about that work-life balance.
What do you mean?
What about bachelor of technology electrical engineering
Well done 👍🏾
Do you encourage me to equivalent my electrical engineering technology certification from a technical college that is not ABET and stopped giving a bachelor degree a few years ago?
If yes, do you think I'll get a decent job if I choose The University of Houston major in Electrical Power Engineering Technology?
Just look at places you would like to work and check out requirements
What I have to learn in electrical engineering can you give us a list of specific course Thanx
@Ddddaah it’s basically a lot of calculus,1,2,3,4
Differential of equations
Linear Algebra
Physics:Electricity and Magnetism
Mechanics
Thermodynamics
You also have to take some programming classes ( Java, Python)
Engineering classes: Electrical circuits, some designing classes depending on your school this is most of what you have to learn during your first 3 years I will say
After that usually is when you’re going for your bachelor degree where you have to learn classes where it’s a mixture of physics classes (electrical circuit 2 for example), electronics and computer science.
If you manage to be good with Physics and Math in general you will be good because everything else builds up on that
Hi, awesome video! Is there a big difference between electrical engineering technology vs electrical engineering? Does EET also share the advantages as EE? Thank you!
Compare the course lists!
im a electrical engineer too in a shithole 3rdworld country. ive been job hopping for 20 years. been in engineering construction management 10 years and building facilities management 10 years. i used to decide to either computer science or this but fortunately i pick electrical. i love software as a kid i find it fancy and in the movies those hackers . but fortunately i didnt go for the hype. not bragging about but ive had double my salary offers 3 x laat year but didnt go for it. i like my job now because its too convinient for me. but im really getting board again and i dont know if i could still last for another year. i was already able to fix all the buildings major problems in 5 years and i feel really board now lol. i might job hop once again for those wfh setup job just to experience what that feels like
Sounds like you’re locked in
@@Jodabeni i dont know. i dont feel i really achieved someting despite a good resume. maybe i dont really like a management job but. management job is the one with higher pay here
so your saying with my ee degree it good i have a clearance
It can definitely help! Companies don’t have to pay the extra money to get you a clearance over those that don’t have it
Should I double major in CSE + ECE? I'm currently on track to graduate within 2.5 years or 3 years and I think EE is also a good choice.
If you have the time why not?
Guys should i take ee on a cllg with no good tecahers and equipment facilities.
Is an online degree worth it, for Electrical Engineering?!
I’m not sure if any programs have fully online
Its all well and good, but software wins in remote jobs. Also you can easily make a software product/startup and not work for the man.
Pros and Cons on both sides!
Easily make a product/startup ? That isn’t true 90% of start ups fail .
