Here is a quote from another thread.
I see lots of questions here from students and recent grads that make me wonder if the education they receive is applicable to product development. Is it geared more toward theoretical research?
As some of you know, my main career was in marketing, (i.e., product management,) and involved technical products with electric, electronic, and mechanical components, including internal combustion engines. I was always more technically competent than other marketing types, but I felt handicapped by the lack of an engineering degree.I have a degree in electronic engineering but at uni we never actually got told about how an electronics engineer goes about designing and analyzing a project.
I'm interested in both the technical and project phase stuff, I just need some kind of order to my designing and what kind of results I should be showing on paper.
