Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Electrical enineering is defined as "the branch of engineering science that studies the uses of electricity and the equipment for power generation and distribution and the control of machines and communication" Computer Science is defined as "the branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures" There are courses such as Computer and Electronic Engineering which combine both fields of study. Other courses like Elec...

CORNELL COMPETITIVE?
I have heard that Cornell is the easiest Ivy to get into and I was wondering what any of you thought about that. Just how competitive is it in general? (SAT avgs, acceptance rates, stuff like that)-According to the 1997 US News rankings, Cornell had an acceptance rate of 33%, SAT 25th-75th percentiles of 1250 - 1430, and 81% of freshman from the top 10% of their HS class. Overall, US News put Cornell's selectivity rank at #15 in the country. While Cornell might be one of the "easier...

whats the difference between an electrical engineer and a electronic engineer? I'm guess electronic engineers focus more on solidstate devices.
whats the difference between an electrical engineer and a electronic engineer? I'm guess electronic engineers focus more on solidstate devices.-I think electronic engineer focuses more on low-power solid circuits used for using electrical signal to communicate and electrical engineers focues on transformers, generators, motors, electric heating, wiring and anything to do with doing using electricity to do work. -Have a look at ; www.engology.com ...

Electrical Engineering Student Interested In Automotive Industry
I will be finishing my engineering degree soon. The university I attend doesn't have any official specialization for an undergraduate degree. As such, there is no way for me to learn anything automotive unless I do it on my own. I have started to read about car basics like the engine, suspension and performance. What I would like to get into is the electrical/electronic systems in the cars. I don't have any practical embedded programming experience (nothing but school) but I have...

WANTED: Old electrical engineering book!!

My question i...

Electrical Engineering Careers in USA
I got a publication from IEEE last week with an article about the US EE job market. From peak EE unemployment of 6-7% a couple of years ago we are back to approx 2% EE unemployment, about the same as in 2000-2001 before the job situation took a dive. The article points out that while that sounds like a good thing, the number of US EEs dropped from 440,000 in 2000-2001 to 340,000 in 1st quarter 2005, a drop of 100,000 EEs (and a large percentage drop). That drop is a combination of n...

Electrical engineering career.
I plan to major in Electrical Engineering, but a friend of my fathers, who is a electrical engineer, told me that I would have to go out of state (I am in Florida) to find a good high pay job. Is this true? I would like to stay close to all my family. (alot of my relatives live nearby.)-I don't know how it is now, but Florida use to be the hot spot for Electrical Engineering jobs. No one knows now what the job situation will be like by the time you graduate. -That depends on wh...

Is software engineering really "engineering"
I happen to believe that the discipline of "software engineering" can be as rigorous as other, more tranditional, engineering. I also believe that nobody deserves to be called an "engineer" unless that person has, at least, a four year degree in engineering. Software engineering typically does not require the knowledge of chemistry, or physics, that is required of the more traditional engineering. But, I don't know that civil engineering requires that either. I really don't k...

Electrical Engineering College?
There is no such beast. An undergrad degree in EE will not specialize in audio (at least at any of the colleges I'm aware of). If you go the EE route you will have to wait until at least the Masters level before you will get to work on audio stuff (that is, you will do research often of your own choosing at this level). I was a recording engineer first (still am part time), then went back to school and am now in a PhD program and I guarantee you traditional engineering curriculum has...

Electrical Engineering College?
I an 16 and i want to be a recording engineer. I have talked to some people who say that i should get my degree in Electrical Engineering specializing in audio. What do you think of that? Any suggestions would be appreciated.-I imagine there are at least a hundred schools in the US where you can get a *quality* EE degree. That won't necessarily help you with anything particular in recording, but you'll have a much more solid idea about "how things work", and you might find somethin...

Electrical Engineering Courses
Can anyone recommend an accredited college offering a BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering online. I'm looking for a school that offers the complete degree program.-So is everybody else. You can check with alt.education.distance, but I think you're gonna find that there really isn't anything that's accredited by anyone you'd care to associate with. This is unfortunate, because there's really no reason that someone can't get a perfectly good education by correspondence an...

Electrical Engineering Course Material
I have just started playing with electronics, this was because my brother needed a device to do a job and I figured I could do it with a PIC and a few components and modifying an existing device, his only other option was to pay serious money to have a company do the role of the device. Great thing about this is that I'm making some nice money out of it, but I really enjoy messing about with electronics. Now I was wondering what would be the best material to study, I'm currently doin...

Maybe something similar to "The art of electronics" by Horowitz and Hill, but more about electrical things and not only electronics.-A good one is "The American Electrician's Handbook", by Terrell Croft and Wilford Summers. -The Construction Bookstore puts out a quarterly catalog that lists many such books. They are online at http://www.constructionbook.com They seem to have the ...

Are hams better electrical engineering students?
I would've inserted the word 'necessarily' in "...the grades you get in school don't-That's an interesting perspective. I've found that employers of engineers never, ever ask how well one did in school unless hiring a new graduate with no other experience. Instead, they're intensely interested, as they should be, in what the candidate has accomplished in his career, as the best indicator of what he's likely to do in the future. I'd rather have my heart transplant done by a surgeon w...

Non Electrical Engineering asking for possible solutions to a problem
I'm writing software to track billiard balls on a pool table. I need an accurate way to track the balls. Each ball would have to be uniquely identified. I've thought about using a video camera, but it would require a high ceiling to be overhead or some complex calculations if it is at an angle, then there is the issue of writing recognition code to find the balls. I suspect it wouldn't be the most accurrate or the fastest solution in the world. Is anyone aware if it is techni...

Are hams better electrical engineering students?
Have any study been done on this? I'm surprised that the ARRL hasn't researched this. (Or have they?) I am willing to bet that electrical engineering majors who operate ham radio (or who participate in other EE-related hobbies) tend to do better than their nonham counterparts. I know I would have been a MUCH better student if I had been a ham radio operator when I entered college as an electrical engineering major. Without ham radio (or any other practical experience), SWR, S...

Electric vs. Electrical
How to decide which of these two words to use? Example: I can say "electric cable". yet i think i can still say "electrical cable", can I? I know, on the other hand, that i cannot say "electric engineer". The proper designation is of course "electrical engineer"-As the working of the thing gets more complex you move from electric to electrical. So 'an electric fire' but 'an electrical circuit'. -The adjective "Electronic" actually implies more than just the complexity of a circui...

PhD in Industrial Engineering
Does anyone know of a PhD program in Industrial Engineering that is offered totally through distance learning?-There are none with recognized accreditation in the US. There could be some interesting possibilities through British or Australian research doctorates. DeMontfort, for instance, does a range of technology doctorates. Residency is negotiable. I am hearing from more and more Americans who have been able to work out a nonresident approach, or one short visit, but it takes a ...

Newbie from Purdue
I've just started reading the newsgroup and figured out how to post! I am a graduate student at Purdue Univ. (West Lafayette, Indiana) studying Electrical Engineering. I graduate in May and can't wait to be through with school! I will be going to Austin, TX to start a new job (and conveniently, my boyfriend-of-4-yrs has a new job there as well!). I am relatively new to quilting. I've really only made one...I started it my senior year in highschool and finished it my sophomore...

Electrical Engineering Newgroup?
I have noticed that there is not a newsgroup dedicated to Electrical Engineering in particular. There are groups for divisions such as lighting, control, TV etc. But there is not a group for more general discussion on other matters. I have interest in power, control and alternative energy, plus a variety of other area, which are not covered. Any comments will be welcome.-I have tried to access that newsgroup, but there is no such group. Have you accessed this newgroup. If...

Electrical Engineering schools in Canada and the U.S
I have a choice to study electrical engineering in either Canada or the United States. My high school math and physics marks are in the high-80's and should get me into most schools- I hope. Can any one here suggest where I might find information that would allow me to compare various electrical engineering programs in North America?-The Gourman Report ranks undergrad programs in the United States but some Canadian schools are also mentioned.
