<p>hi all
I have a question ,what can an EE specialize in ??
can an EE work for companies like BMW and participate in designing a car??
what about rocket science?? I visited the lockheed martin website and 18% of their employers are EE ,can an EE be a main engineer in a project like the ones in LM??
what about specialize in wireless communication like Radars??</p>
<p>I have an idea:
how about making a topic to explain every engineering major and its opportunities,careers,choices ...
don't you think this kind of topics is really important in the forum?</p>
<p>best;</p>
<p>There are plenty of specializations for EEs, and I’ll just explain the ones I’m somewhat familiar with.
Power systems - basically power plants and proper maintenance of them. Sometimes goes into nuclear power.
Computer Engineering / Integrated Electronics - basically semiconductor work. You use that for designing computer hardware.
Communications/radar is a focus of EE, but I don’t really know all that much about that focus specifically.</p>
<p>Majors change over time, and that’s especially true during times of economic downturn when changes are necessary. No one would be able to give you what you want to know unless you ask the right question, because these things are hardly set in stone.</p>
<p>@NeoDymium:
thanks a lot dude.
I am happy that the EE involves with nuclear power stations:)</p>
<p>best;</p>
<p>
Nearly anything involving electricity or magnetism or electromagnetic waves.</p>
<p>
Yes, although if the car is not a hybrid or electric the EE will almost certainly serve in a secondary role - the guy leading the design team will be the one who studied moving parts and thermal transfer.</p>
<p>
See my comment about cars - EE’s are involved in nearly every kind of design these days because nearly every kind of product involves some amount of electronics. The only question is whether or not they are designing the core of the product (as with computers, radar, transformers, etc.) or supporting systems (as with cars, aircraft, nuclear reactors, etc.).</p>
<p>
Radar is not about communication (although it can be used for such in certain circumstances), but this is an easy one - yes, this is a direct application of EE and such design teams are nearly always EE-led.</p>
<p>
Or you can go to the website of any engineering school and see descriptions and information on any topic you want, professionally written (or at least edited) but providing the same kind of generic and impersonal information that such a thread would provide. CC is really best for targeted questions, specifics not available on such sites.</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend that you take some of the time you are spending posting on here and use it investigating on your own. Many people ask questions that are easily answered with a google search, but you seem to be asking an unusually large number of them. Do some basic research on EE and any other majors of interest, and then come back with some more specific questions.</p>
<p>Here’s another facade of EE besides circuits and electronics：
signal processing — many multimedia applications may involve this: image, audio, video, speech, etc.
control — those folks working for BMW probably work on this too. think of how to coordinate a system (car, robot, etc) based on feedback.
communications — how to transmit and recover information safely and reliably by spending minimal power. think of your DSL cable, 3G/4G mobile network and satellites/GPS.
radio-frequency/mircowave — the physics of communications: how to model/manipulate behaviors of electromagnetic waves to transmit signal</p>
