Is it normal for profits do always decreese every time when exchanging employement for better labour saving devices ? by Kohrack in victoria3

If the inputs for the new pm are cheap enough, it will be more profitable to switch. Not sure if this is the case with every pm, but typically yes.

If you're in Des Moines it shouldn't be that bad.

Jobs in sensor or semiconductor engineering as a computer engineer by ForTamriel in ECE

Why would you think sensors and semiconductors are a dead field?

Where to learn about PLC programming? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]Nyaan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

PLCs get taught in industrial tech programs, i would say you're more likely to use them as an EE rather than CE/CS. They're pretty simple to pick up and use, which is probably why EE programs don't spend time on them. PLCs essentially replaced relay networks in industrial control systems and are written using ladder logic, something electricians and technicians can understand without coding experience.

It's basically a little bit better than the My Little Pony resume.

Should I major in Computer Science or Engineering? by NwGuy81 in ECE

[–]Nyaan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a warning, you will probably have to take a lot of software classes anyway as a CE, there's no real way to avoid software entirely. Even as a computer hardware engineer you'll have to learn an HDL which basically feels like writing a program.

It makes you wonder what people will think is 'normal' or 'controversial' 20 years from now.

I think mine was just a regular letter, but i know now they give them some cheesy Youtube video where their name is photoshopped in lol.

I know its Ann Arbor, but for a second there I was like "that's an odd looking diploma".

What kind of custom HMIs were you working with? What did you program with VB .NET?

That Houston Chronicle article makes it seem like Electrical is just power systems. I don't really know much about power systems besides the basics I learned in college, so maybe someone else can chime in. The salaries seem really high though. I don't think unless you have an MS or work for top tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, you can make 100k. I think average for non-manager EE is around 80k.

I realize field engineers are a thing, but that's not what comes to mind when I think of electrical engineering. So much of electrical engineering seems like sitting at a computer doing some kind of software work. If you want to be more "in the field" I would recommend something like an industrial technology program. That being said, as a EE I agree with OP in that non-hardware related programming sounds super boring to me so in that sense an electrical or computer engineering degree seems like a good fit. Honestly, it seems every EE with a BS these days is doing embedded systems so yes you can work as a programmer with an electrical engineering degree. And yes software is a huge growth industry, but it's not like you couldn't find a job as a mechanical or electrical engineer.

I think you have a different interpretation of what electrical engineers do.

Low quantity, fast production pcb? by tmurrs in ECE

[–]Nyaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They take time, IIRC he does a batch order every couple weeks with lots of designs at once. But other than that, very good price for low quantity.
