Good day , I hope this message finds you well , I am a first year student in electronics engineering , and wanted to ask some question about my project

1.What are some of the reason you choose to pursue this career ?

2.What struggles have you encountered at work and how did your math and physics understanding in your project helped you out (can you help with concrete example

3.Do you find team work to be better for finding solutions or does working alone makes the best progress

4.What advice would you give to a new electronics engineer on the field

I would really appreciate if you guys helped me out with this project thank you.

"1.What are some of the reason you choose to pursue this career ?"
I guess unconsciously I had a yen for from an early age.

"4.What advice would you give to a new electronics engineer on the field?"
Study, carry out experiments, build circuits in practice etc.

 

1.What are some of the reason you choose to pursue this career ?

I chose electrical engineering because it was something I was interested in as a child.

2.What struggles have you encountered at work and how did your math and physics understanding in your project helped you out (can you help with concrete example

Rarely had to use any physics or advanced math on the job.

3.Do you find team work to be better for finding solutions or does working alone makes the best progress

The days of some antisocial technical hotshot getting anywhere are long gone. If you can't work in a team, companies won't want you even if you're some know-it-all.

4.What advice would you give to a new electronics engineer on the field

Be flexible. Early in my career I found that I was interested in more than designing circuits and found my niche working on leading edge process technology for a large semiconductor company.

I spent 18 months working at a semiconductor startup. It was a lot of work with few rewards. They went out of business due to poor management decisions (CEO knew nothing about the business and only got the job because his father was chairman of the conglomerate that owned the company). I went back to the large semiconductor company before the startup went under.

 

1.What are some of the reason you choose to pursue this career ?

Have always had a love of understanding how things work. Designing things that do what I want them to is a natural extension of that.

2.What struggles have you encountered at work and how did your math and physics understanding in your project helped you out (can you help with concrete example

Virtually everything I do sits on a foundation of math and physics that forms how I think about problems and how I go about solving them.

3.Do you find team work to be better for finding solutions or does working alone makes the best progress

Depends entirely on both the problem and the team. In many instances a good mixture of the two works best.

4.What advice would you give to a new electronics engineer on the field

If you don't love problem solving, then find a different field -- engineers are problem solvers. That's what we bring to the table and why people are willing to pay us.

Also, while there is nothing that says that you must love what you do, never forget that you will always be competing against people that do.

 

Whichever moderator closed the TS's other identical post, could he please link the to two together, so that all the participants' answers are visible in the same place.

I want to thank you so much for helping me with the answears that you provided, your prespective was indeed of value in my project.

All the best,
