>Is X a meme major?
Unless it is Biomedical, Mechatronics, or Systems Engineering your major XE major is not a “meme”. Additional meme majors include chemical and nuclear engineers. They are challenging degrees but there are just not enough jobs to keep up with graduating students. Many bitter anons in these threads are ChemE students or unemployed ChemE graduates.

>Why is Mechatronics or Bio Engineering a meme degree?
They are often very shallow degrees at the undergraduate level. Students end up becoming a master of none and are outclassed by the more common disciplines. For the longest period of time these courses were only Master/PHD opportunities. A good undergraduate program is very rare for either discipline. Your meme state school isn’t one of those programs.

>I can’t find a job
What is your GPA? What is your experience? Is your resume shit? Do you interview well? When did you start looking?
>GPA
A GPA of 3.0 is the bare minimum for most companies.
>Experience
Experience is helpful but is not needed to get a job. You will have a much tougher time though and will need to grind out applications. College clubs and personal projects are good ways to get at least some experience if it is not professional experience.
>Resume
Post your resume if you want it to be reviewed. Try and quantify actions at your job, don’t just list your responsibilities. If you have no professional experience emphasize your school projects/clubs/personal projects.
>Interviewing
It helps to practice and write down your answers to question that you think you will be asked. Using Glassdoors can be helpful when trying to figure out what kind of questions specific companies ask.
>Candidate
You don’t need to be a 3.9 GPA, 3 internship, non white student to get a job in Engineering. Just keep in mind Apple/Boeing/Broadcom/Google/Intel/etc, don’t generally hire <3.0 GPA no experience autists that are incapable of talking to other human beings.

Replying to someone that said that machine learning has nothing to do with EE in the last thread.

My professor was the president of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. He now teaches various AI-related courses at the EE department. He also runs the ML lab and has various research projects in AI.

He was working with artificial neural networks before you CS-fags were even born. When someone asked him if CS instead of EE wouldn't be a career better suited for ML, he laughed. He's an EE and he has dedicated his whole life to teaching EE students this subject. And he knows you CS-fags are in on it just for the money.

ML was founded by electrical engineers. You're just co-opting it.

EE, waiting on an interview callback I was promised this week. Not had full-time work for over a year, despite applying to many, many places.

>>10192608
I've been told by multiple companies that EE often make better programmers than CS, partially because it's easier to teach the EE's programming the CS majors an engineering mindset. Barring Autism/Sperg jokes, a concrete example is although CS majors might have a better sense of program complexity, in reality programs take a lot of shortcuts, different architectures necessitate or at least ease certain algorithms and models, and if you're not able to handle the restrictions imposed on you, you'll struggle. Even if you knew the very best way of doing something for a platform, in business it might be not worth your time. That's not even accounting for other human beings.

>>10192204
It might depend on where you go. I saw something like 50% of solar development is in California and New York. University I went to has a lot of Electromagnetic and Photonic peoples, and occasionally I see publications from Buffalo University/SUNY University at Buffalo/whatever they call themselves. I wouldn't call the university GOOD in any way, but I wouldn't say all the people who are PhD's are untalented, either. A few people I personally had contact with I'd say they probably make excellent researches, just are terrible people in hospitable-ness or ability to manage their life.

Materials Scientist here. Jobless for several months, been looking for a position in R&D. Nothing but rejections. Then a recruiter messaged me on Linkedin and I finally got a job offer, but I'm feeling really hesitant about it. It's an application engineer position, so it would be mainly dealing with customers and sales. I've already had the interview and was pretty much guaranteed that I'd get the job. The managers seemed almost desperate to fill the position.
Any advice? I really need to start working, but I don't want to get locked onto a career path I'd be miserable in (glorified tech support). All I ever wanted was to create stuff.

Metamaterials, on-chip photonic circuits, photonic computers, biosensors, quantum computing, THz devices. Research is exploding in photonics, just check out any OSA journal, almost all the published papers are somehow related to photonics engineering.

The Princeton lightwave lab is doing work on neuromorphic photonics in an effort to create photonic neural networks. They recently created a laser that operates much like a neuron by putting a graphene saturable absorber in a fiber ring laser (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep19126).). This is as good as photonic computing gets right now.

John's Hopkins biomedical engineering does a lot of work with biosensors.

UCSD does nanoengineering with a bio-centered track.

You're gonna have to be more specific if you want better answers. What kind of work do you want to do?

Thanks for the help!
I'm a senior looking at colleges, so I guess I might be biting of more than I can chew considering I haven't even finished my college essay yet.
I'm interested in metamaterial, THz imaging, and quantum information, but I'm scared of specializing too early before I can really understand the field and get stuck with something I don't like with few industry prospects.
I know URochester is a good university for an undergrad in optics, but since I have a tendency to keep my options open and get analysis paralysis I was also considering doing just a regular CS degree and taking graduate courses in whatever as I try to get a grasp on myself and the industry. My only qualm with the latter is that it seems to be what everyone does and won't do me any favors in terms of getting REUs or internships. ("oh look, another CSlet who's only interested in this because of popsci memery")

I think I'm lucky in the fact that these fields are emerging so no one is expected to specialize early on.
Do you think I should go for an optics degree or stick with the tried-and-true "well-rounded" undergrad?
P.S. Can you give me scoop on Rochester and UCFs optics specialties? They're two colleges on my list.
Thanks.

I guess I only alluded to this in my post, but just to be clear I do plan on going into industry unless I fall in love with my specialty or end up becoming a superstar in the subfield. (the latter is highly unlikely lol)

I can't, but university of Arizona is one of the best schools in the country for optics.

If you're not even in undergrad yet but know you want to go into photonics I would start by looking up research labs/professors doing something you think sounds cool, and apply to those schools as a physics undergrad. The first 2 years at any uni are basically identical. What you're gonna want to do is get into undergraduate research asap. Getting an internship has almost nothing to do with classes (to a point, aim for a 3.5+ GPA) and way more to do with your soft (social) skills and your actual research experience. A company interviewing you is trying to answer the question: "Can this person actually do engineering work and mesh with the greater team?". Having undergraduate research experience proves you can do work and be useful, and I would recommend joining clubs or a fraternity to develop your social skills if you don't have em already. Don't do a CS degree unless you're pursuing a PhD. You can (and should) learn to code on your own time. I'm a self-taught programmer and I've built in-house data analysis tools on the job without issues. You REALLY want to focus on getting hands on engineering experience, things you can point to and say "this is my contribution, and this is why i did it this way" in an interview.

I'm aware of UA's reputation. Unfortunately, I'm out of state (in MA) and poor, and UAs scholarships and meager financial aid probably won't be enough to cover me. I see what you mean about CS not being helpful when self-learning is an option. would I be correct in assuming that reason why you're recommending joining as a physics major rather going straight into and photonics BSes is because it keeps my options open?
A lot of CS internships aren't open to physics majors, but I guess that comes back to what you said about internships being about social skills more than qualifications. Hell, I bet the non-codemonkey ones are for grad students anyways.

It depends. I did recruiting for a good company that hired both CS and EE people for similar positions around HPC, cryptography, and low abstraction architecture. Unfortunately it’s true that CS is wildly inconsistent, but most EE people generally write dogshit solutions. That has little to do with code etiquette and more that they’re not very good at solving original problems under pressure

Good CS programs have grads whose skillset is being good at solving problems in many forms. It’s true that a lot suck, but the ones that are good are ideal new grads because they come in with a skillset that lets them pick up whatever they need.

Sigproc research is done by many people in academia. In industry, EE’s use lots of lookup tables and basic tricks to make the hard transforms go away. CS people even have a lot of interesting projects like learning on sigproc, their own sigproc applications, systems optimization when it comes to hardware/software communication, etc. in grad, I see mostly EE, math, physics, and CS grads working in whatever flavor of sigproc they like.

Redpill me on biomed engineering please. I'm honestly a bit clueless about what I wanna do in life, I just started Uni. I know that I'm good with electronics and programming, and ideally I would like to work in a field connected to medicine - or rather connecting men with machines. I'm interested in neuroscience. But I don't want to spend my life in a dead-end field.
I'm currently studying photonics (I wanted to study neuroinformatics but I didn't get in) in one of the best schools in my country. I'm generally thinking about transfering into biomedical engineering next year. But I still have time to decide, so I'm thinking about neuroinformatics, EE and robotics. Which one is the best and has a future? Or should I just stay and try to get into photonics?

Wat do /sci/? I'm in the last semester of my mechanical engineering degree right now, and I'll graduate somewhere in a 3.2-3.4 range I believe. I'm pretty sure I have a part-time internship lined up through a mutual connection, which could lead to a full-time position lined up, but I'm not willing to bank on that being a permanent position, and it's not exactly what I want to be doing since it'd be drawings and CAD. I am heavily considering grad school, but I'm already in a fair amount of debt as it is, and it'd be moreso to keep my grace period going for a longer period. Should I:

>Graduate, work as much as I can between my wageslave position and this, and take a break for six months
>Graduate, start grad-school half-time, work between grad school, this internship, and retail wageslavery,
>stay in undergrad for another semester to keep collecting financial aid and do what I claimed in the second option

Really don't have any other ideas lined up, but if I'm being honest, I'm pretty burned out on going to college and it isn't like I had a "college experience" anyways. I'm hoping one day to get more into a scientific field, think I really want to go to grad to be a controls engineer or something else software or circuits-heavy but I just don't have the resume or skills for it at an undergrad level right now. (Realized that this was where my interest lied way too late)

in my final year, doing an "advanced controls course" which is basically digital and nonlinear alongside linear in one single course. Everyone else is shitting themselves but I am having a lot of fun. I have actually quite enjoyed the math, however limited exposure in EE is.
My thesis was on control systems as well, researching all the different methods and the heavy math compared to other fields was so cash.
Going to start a job at a company next year, hopefully I'll be able to slide into doing the main controls work soon. enough (it's a pretty small company with lots of flexibility in the EE work).

I think process could be interesting. I went into mechanical because everyone said that it is flexible enough for you to go into other fields. I've been slowly realizing that I'm not as excited about design work, but seems that tends to be what most of my curriculum has been until the last year of engineering.

I'm no dummy though on a lot of those subjects, but I also know that if you threw me into something mechE doesn't focus on, then I'd flounder a bit.

I'm conflicted on whether to do materials (I really like chemistry) or electrical. If I do materials would I find work doing actual materials engineering work (or any work at all for that matter)? I don't mind doing either or but I'm scared if I do materials there wouldn't be anything out there for me

There's an absurd amount of EE+Physics double majors on /sci/ and reddit. The spergs who do this, I presume, are terrified of actually living in the real world and having a job, so they double up on the two densest undergrad programs you can possibly take, and oftentimes go for a Masters too and in some cases PhD. Obviously these guys are genuinely pretty smart in terms of raw academic performance, but I don't know how smart you can really be if you voluntarily decide to stay in college until you're pushing 30.

There is zero reason to do this if you actually intend to start a family anytime this decade. But I guess it's fine to do if you just want to LARP as a young person while being a 30 year old boomer, and the idea of leaving campus and having to commute and work in a cubicle for real is a terrifying concept.

Not the guy your replying to but I thought cs jobs were being outsourced to Indians and similar low wage workers. Also why do you think a cs job would be better than an engineering job? I'm just wondering because I am majoring in engineering but always liked computers and thought it would be an interesting field to study and make a career out of but I was put off by what I thought was an oversaturation of the job market.

BME bachelor's leaves you too generalized. You know less about biology than biochemists and you know less about any one single subsystem than an ME/EE. You're basically a systems engineer with a biology minor, without any in-depth knowledge of anything. Better to choose a field to be good at for a bachelor's. BME is good as a career option/post graduate degree when you actually have something to bring to the table.

Thoughts on working for an oil company in Trinidad? Recent mechE grad (well dunno if May is recent at this point). Couldn't really find work at home all too easily but I know someone there and could get pretty much get the job when the position opens up in January.

I don't want to stay here forever though, in fact I almost didn't/don't want to take it at all, but it is honestly kinda ideal in that I did want to get into the oil industry, mostly for the scheduling.

Also the company is brand new, kinda. Basically the old company was a state owned oil company, but then it went defunct a couple months ago and now two have popped up from it to take its place regarding restructuring and all that business. Good or bad I honestly have no clue.

Sampling frequency has nothing to do with bit depth, they're independent. Bit depth is literally just the resolution of those samples, and thus improves audio quality. Every sample is more accurate (less quantization error) and as a result background noise is reduced.

Guys I had a phone interview for an out of state position. They just called me and left a voice-mail stating they want to bring me on site for an in person interview now.

I also just had an interview scheduled for a local company that is 20 minutes away and wouldn't require me to move to another state. I much rather would have the local job, and if I do well in the interview and they hire me I will accept the local position.

Should I still allow the company in another state to fly me out to them just in case I fail the local interview? Is it unethical for me to have they go through the money and effort to fly me out to them knowing I will turn them down if this local job decides to hire me?

Yes I am definitely taking the out of state if the local goes bad. Would probably try to find a new job back in my home state after 1-2 years using the experience from the out of state job though.

What do I do if the out of state job gives me an offer and I'm still waiting for an offer or a rejection from the local job? These engineering companies take like 3 weeks or a month to get back to me sometimes.

I am 35. I am a 4th year now (in internship). I started with 1 child in first year and my son was born just after 2nd year.

I did 6 classes first semester of 3rd year while working as a research assistant and I had a new born that didn't sleep, like more than 2 hours straight for the first year.

I barely survived but I pulled a 3.2 gpa that semester and a 3.4 the next with no more that a broken 4-5 hours of sleep for a year.

Im an EE junior and I started college as a 22 year old freshman. There are a lot of guys in my classes who are just as old as me and a couple older.

Some of them are ex military, some of them started college at 18 and flunked out after partying and re-enrolled when they were felt they were more mature, some just worked meme retail jobs before getting serious.

I think young people are completely betrayed by society and their parents in this day and age. My dad told me stories about how his parents made him get an engineering degree. What does my dad tell me? He tells me "lol follow ur dreams lmao" so I didnt do fucking anything.

No one knows what career is a good idea at age 18. No one knows jacks shit about the world at age 18. But all our dumb boomer beatnik parents are so goddamn afraid to actually be a fucking authority figure for once in their goddamn lives, so they just parrot some meme bullshit "if u do what u love u never work day in ur life XDDDD"

It's AIDS and retarded and the reason why our unis and corporations are full of foreign students and foreign skilled laborers. An immigrant comes to the US, their parents tell them "you'd better be a fucking dentist or a doctor or an engineer" but American kids dont get that treatment from their parents.

It's a topsy turvy retarded carnival mirror world we live in. I literally bully my younger family members into getting STEM degrees. Idgaf. No one in society wants to help youths they just feed them this participation trophy 'everyones a winner' bullshit, then wonder why millenials cant afford houses

I don't know much about anything but I seriously wouldn't bother with a PhD unless you had a very specific goal that required it, like being a professor or whatever. If you want to do R&D you can do that with a masters. You're already looking around around 100k/yr USD with a masters from GA tech at pretty much any company. I would start working ASAP in your position and saving money, get a cushy job in Atlanta, or relocate to another state, whatever. Start paying off a suburban home somehwere and have some kids.

I would disagree, for most people, a four year university for most people is a terrible financial decision. Not everyone is cut out to be an engineer or doctor, and incurring thousands of dollars in debt just to get a “degree” because the public school system and your boomer parents told you to do so is a terrible idea. Obviously the people posting here are part of the exception and won’t be wasting money on a completely useless degree for the “college experience”, but I would still suggest going to community college first looking and looking at other means of graduating school debt free.

I never said "everyone should be an engineer". I said I pressure my younger family members, who I know are smart and have financial backing of our family, but are simply ruddlerless and not told what to major in, that I give them advice on what to major in. Specifically majors that our family has connections to so that they can have an entry point into a well paying field.

Furthermore one should only go to university to become a dentist, doctor, or engineer. Otherwise it's a much smarter decision to learn a trade/get certs. I don't disagree with that. But in this specific case, I was smart enough to get an engineering degree as I come from a good stock and I have the backing of a financial support network so it was simply the objectively best decision to make however, as I lament in my post, no one else pointed this out to me and would have totally supported me had I gone into English or some stupid meme degree.

That is what Im describing. Im not saying everyone should be an engineer. Please try to assume I'm not completely retarded and think eveyone in our society needs a BSc

Civil engineering is the least autistic one out of all of them, hence why you don't see much of them around on /sci/. They have a good salary, stable jobs opportunities, females inside their classrooms and don't really need to invent anything on their own.

It's the most rational pick if your own wellbeing is something you prioritise.

Thinking about doing biomedical engineering, is it shit ?

My second option is computer engineering

I really like math and phisics, but i am shit at them.I am thinking of trying to learn them from the begining, maybe it fixes my problem, what do you guys think ?

Also my dream would be mechanical engineering, but by the reasons mentioned above, i decided to not try.

you also need data scientists and operation researchers on site, both of which can be reached by having a CS degree. Also, many engineering jobs are off site CAD monkey stuff that can easily be outsourced or even automated.
Guess who's going to be doing the automating?

you could try to figure out where people are being hired and why. Network. Work on stuff relevant to your target industry on your own.

make sure you have a plan in case the petroleum industry has a recession. Lots of stranded petro engs when that happens. Try to think longer term and build transferrable skills if you do decide to work. If you get fired/laid off I guess you could pivot to a different industry by getting a masters. If your company has any opportunities to do computer vision, AI, or management then definitely try to learn those skills.

>>10208794
CS degree =/= software engineering, although you might have a point for the significant portion who due to the bare minimum to pass. Note that at the top levels of any industry you need to keep up on your domain knowledge, so if you don't like that idea prepare to stay around the level of principal/senior engineer.

it has fairly advanced minimum requirements and lots of credits like any engineering degree. Of course, if your uni has a graduate school in your major any major can be as hard as you make it, but most stick with the bare minimum, of which EE's is both very cerebral AND work-intensive. There are many hard-working brainlets and lazy geniuses, but few with enough of bot necessary for an EE degree.

>>10209963
if nothing else you can get some interviewing experience.

>>10209991
reminder that your major is truly over saturated. Do you have any internships or personal projects to make yourself stand out? either way, you'll never be as chad as the IEs. speaking of IE, >>10210964 do you know what industry/company you plan on working after graduation? I'm interested in IE but it seems as if the large companies which could use an IE the most are the ones who are least likely to understand what an IE could do for them.

>>10213465
a lot of financial stuff also often requires a degree, and the requisite research experience is often impossible to get outside of academia, but I agree with you on the fact that trade/community college is a good place to start

I think its because CivE isn't "sexy" so most don't apply, but only switch if they can't handle the tough majors. Thus, the incredible geniuses of /eng/ don't end up in a field as impure as CivE.
