Im graduating soon with an EE degree specializing in power systems. My only internship was with a tech company that designs CPUs and GPUs, and my job was mainly working with hardware logic designs and creating automation scripts on phython. I have heard that power people don't like hiring tech...
@BlueBoxes
Thanks. That was extremely helpful.
Out of all of the descriptions that you wrote, the ones that appealed to me the most were the theoretical work and bits and pieces from all the others. At the end of the day, I want to be doing more technical engineering work than managing...
Unlike many other engineering disciplines, I can't really do projects at home that relate to power systems. For embedded systems, I can work with microcontrollers, for communications I can work with signal processing, for controls I can make a robot. What can I do for power systems? In...
Piterpol,in that link it says that the power and energy sector of electrical engineering is the lowest payed among the other sectors such as communications, solid state, software, etc. Why is the salary so low when the demand is so high?
@DistCoop
What is working like in a consulting company. What kinds of tasks do you do? Is it mostly design work, analysis, meeting with clients, etc. ? Does protection use a lot of physics and electrical theory, or is it mainly a niche knowledge that you only attain once you start working? What...
I am a third year EE student thinking about specializing in power, but I have some reservations. People tell me that most jobs in the industry are boring, repetitive, and lack any intellectual stimulation. I have seen only a few engineers who work in the utilities that actively enjoy their jobs...
