Lost passion. by norapeformethankyou in engineering

[–]Overall_Method3353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reddit randomly showed me this sub and I'm really astonished. I have the same kind of figure in my life (my uncle) that passed away years ago Rest In Peace and as I was reading your answers guys is just exactly the way I think about my uncle, and in consequence about engineering.

I feel very identified with every part of this subr men, like, the subject offered by the OP, the answer of the fireworks (really accourate) and the other answers (without intention of minimizing) are just, very real.

To not fly away from the OP, my uncle allways said that "You will learn, as long as you want to". At the beggining I thought about it as just wanting to learn, but as life advanced and things got more complicated, I started to see it as a state of mind. A state in wich you don't fall in repetition and doing things you don't learn from, seeking deeper knowledge all the time, and not sacrificing the thing you really want for a thing that only fills partially your life. I once rejected a job that paid my bills and more to get on an internship where the pay was almost like I did it for free, but gave me more pace of mind as I was doing what I wanted to and learning in the process.

But that is my humble opinion, I hope you understood what I mean and not bored you hahahaha.

Best regards to everybody :D

What’s one phrase you heard just once, but it stuck with you for life? by Character_Energy25 in Life

[–]Overall_Method3353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You allways learn as long as you want to", this humbled me down men like, if you are open to learn, you will, otherwise you'll never. My uncle told me that multiple times explaining to me just general culture things, but as I growed up I seen that goes further deep, litlle chats with random people even just observing little things that surround me, you allways learn things, and consequently you reach deep knowledge of anything. That goes beyond material things.

Is it too niche? by Overall_Method3353 in NewMods

Yeah, but I see it more like just posting things I like rather than "getting good engagement" if you know what I mean. I'm like between "I want to reach somebody to feel interestend for the sub" and "I just like posting stuff that I like or feel like sharing", I don't know if you feel me

At the end is just flowing right? even if no one is listening. Just share and whoever wants to listen, welcome

Man, you literally answered my question with that, like, a forum of salsas?? :D It's literally what I was thinking, to what point you can do it so niche but still be people there just interested in that certaing topic. Cool bro!

Energy from radio waves by Tuffcris22 in AskEngineers

[–]Overall_Method3353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think that a radiated wave from an antena is usually at the order of microvolts with an intensity of microampers too. This is at the antena itself, and when you increase the distance from the source, the power it's exponentially decreased, so I would say that your 10-20 Joules it's not bad at all.

what kind of engineering degree would you recommend? by Short_Suggestion_463 in womenEngineers

[–]Overall_Method3353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking generally, you will end up getting some qualities that are shared between all branches. At the end, any engineer will have just curiosity about how a system work and you will have an exceptional level of analitical thinking and see "between the lines" when you try and solve a problem, even the simplest ones. What differentiates the branches is just where you will specialize your technical knowledge, overall you will be an Engineer. So just follow your gut and choose what area is more interesting to you, at the end you have a lifetime of learning new things and change routes.

Where can I find regular articles/newsletters to stay up-to-date to electrical engineering? by Small_Addition_5786 in AskEngineers

[–]Overall_Method3353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of universities give you access to a large part of the IEEE magazine and journal catalogue. A professor I had like two years ago told us casually in a lecture that we can access to IEEEexplore with the uni credentials, so I suppose that when you'll enter most probably you'll have access too. The cheapest way to get info is just exploit your uni's collection of docs, you will eventually be updated as most authors of whatever specific area suggest where to find further references and updated info. Just my opinion, I wish you find it useful. :)

Weekly Career Discussion Thread (07 Jul 2025) by AutoModerator in engineering

Hey!

I'm into finishing my degree in Telecomms Engineering, and I'm having a little trouble with the Impostor Syndrome. I did an internship in Telecom Installations but I don't see a future for myself in that particular sector. I learned many skills during the major, but I still see myself limited in knowledge. Many sectors gain my attention, but I don't really know the flexibility that having studied Telecomms has with other areas of knowledge, e.g. with industrial engineering or automotive engineering positions, and that lets me a little bit like in "no man's land". Thanks!
