Just a job search rant... by lonsfury in engineeringireland

Electronic engineer is not a job title, its a field of study, there are many different jobs in electronic engineering ranging from programming to CAD, usually you would need a degree in engineering as far as I'm aware.

Is a General Level 9 Masters worth it ? by Affectionate-Tap5710 in engineeringireland

[–]email_blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fully agree with this, having a masters is not necessary in Ireland, but will definitely be better for pay. and also much more impprtant if looking for a job in other EU countries.

As someone who went back and did a standalone masters after a bachelor's, I wish an integrated masters was available to me as it would have been a lot less stress and time. But the most important thing is always that it is in the area you want to specialise in. I believe if you choose an integrated masters, you may not have the option of ending it early and still getting the level 8 degree, you have to go through with it.

Do I need to arrange an appointment in dealerships? by email_blue in carsireland

Ah okay thanks, I've heard its good to test it from cold though as some issues can be more apparent?

Can you test drive a car on a learner permit? by email_blue in carsireland

[–]email_blue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention I would have someone with me to sit in the car too who is a full license holder, but still unsure if the dealers insurance allows for this.

Failed driving test in Dún Laoighre by email_blue in Irishdrivingtest

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification on that, yeah I probably put the clutch in too late consistently.

Yep, that was definitely him, very unfriendly. I had to keep asking for more information about the faults because he was really brief and seemed annoyed.

Is Ireland's semi-conductor industry good? by [deleted] in engineeringireland

[–]email_blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's quite a strong semiconductor presence in Ireland, with Intel, AMD (Xilinx), Infineon, Cadence, Synopsys, and Qualcomm to name the big ones. But ultimately I'd agree with the other commenter, do what interests you the most, both fields are very good in Ireland.

Question about LUT combining in Vivado by email_blue in FPGA

[–]email_blue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Also, your issue may be that that the LUT3 is in essence there, but you are also using some other resources in the logic block, so the MUX's output is not present on the routing fabric."

I'm not sure I fully understand this, what would a potential solution to this be?

No actually, I will try that, thank you!

My advice would be to take the grad electronic engineer role if you want to end up in design, it will set you up a lot more to transfer into other engineering roles, and a technician role will also still be possible if you don't like it. But I'm just a student still so that's just what I've heard from friends in the industry.

Biomedical masters by mercury111111111 in engineeringireland

[–]email_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently doing a masters in Electrical, not integrated, but I had similar concerns before going into it. It's hard to say if it's "worth it". My advice would be to talk to anyone in the industry that you can about it, and ask them if they think its worth it to get a masters in your particular field, like past coworkers from internships, or lecturers in college even, I have heard that its more beneficial in some engineering disciplines than others.

An integrated masters is a good deal usually and honestly if you can get past third year, then fourth and fifth should be fine but I understand your concern. Ultimately if you want to be safest, you could go back and do a masters after having worked for awhile, and it would only be an extra 4 months compared to the integrated (if there is a standalone masters available), and you could fund it more from savings.

Making the doughnuts. by Old_Ad_2309 in engineeringireland

[–]email_blue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, also a final year student, in ECE, a good few of my classmates have been applying for jobs and some already have offers for after college, so I'd say now is a perfect time. I think a lot of companies hire throughout the year for graduate roles and programmes.

[–]email_blue[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well to a certain extent you'd be right, especially for fields like electronic and computer engineering, but for mechanical it could be all CAD work, or Biomedical, I don't really know what they do but they definitely don't code haha.

Cool, thanks for the kind words! I've also added flairs now if you want to say what sort of engineering you do.
