Hello all,

I'm trying to decide whether or not I'd be interested in pursuing a specialized Electrical Engineering degree in one of the many offered "Focus Areas" at my university, but I'm not sure which one best suits me.

I have a tough time deiciding what I might like to go into because as of right now, I've only taken general courses such as Electric Circuits, Digital Logic, Microprocessing Systems, and Electronics 2E.

I seem to enjoy the circuit analysis courses moreso than the digital logic/programming courses.

If I had to rank the ones I've listed above it'd be in the following order,
Electronics 2E, Electric Circuits, Microprocessing Systems, Digital Logic.

I still enjoy and appreciate the material presented in the two lower ranked courses, just not as much as the others. (I guess you could say analog over digital, but not really because I enjoy the digital stuff as well!)


Given that the four available focus areas are,

• Power and Energy Systems
• Wireless Communication Devices
• Biomedical
• Engineering Physics

Any suggestions as to which focus area may be more suited for my interests?

It's difficult for me to choose any one out of the four because I haven't necessairly taken any courses in 3 of the 4 domains.(i.e. Power Systems, Wireless Communication & Biomedical)

Would anyone like to share there experiences/interests/advice in any of the 4 focus areas mentioned above?

I'd love to hear how you are finding it, and what you're working on and why you chosen it over the others.

As always, I appreciate the input.

Thanks again!

 

It's really tough to say because all of those focus areas are built off of pretty much all the courses that you listed. Give it another year and you will see where you are more interested. I am pursuing the biomedical route, myself.

Well, power electronics have the least to do with digital. Based on what you like I 'd propose power electronics or biomedical.

 

University would be less if the education boards did not exist.The money
to finance educational staff is in the billions world wide.They write the
degree package where you don't know the right way to go. You take this
course,and they say it not enough.You can't plan ahead they change
the rules every year,raise fees. Free educations are handed out every
day,you never know that you are not on a even play field.
