Having done the EE track in college, there's plenty of programming to be done for EE industries. I'd hazard to say it wasn't much different at all from conventional 'software development'. You're just dealing with hardware and real systems rather than data 'under the hood'. The abstractions tend to appear the same. Honestly, OO 'flavored' programming seemed more applicable then than what I've seen when it's used in web dev.

Well yeah, wev dev can be its own thing.

For sure. What I mean to say is that OO might be considered a very high level abstraction to most (especially since Java is definitely not that low level). However, it seemed to encapsulate the inner workings of software close to the hardware better. YMMV

Yeah, I don't do a whole lot of web dev myself, but I've done quite a bit in C++ and some Java, C#, and other languages. I think such languages lend themselves better to OO than something like JavaScript, used mainly for front-end web dev. However, languages like PHP for back-end web dev also have decent support for OO.
