I'm a college student on leave for a few years trying to get my life back into balance. When I return, I will be completing my bachelors in biomedical engineering technology. I hope to double in EE or CS. I miss being in class.
 
mind if i butt in...

im so amazed with your level of education and i wonder if you can still relax with so much to study... ive always dreamt of a masters degree, but i need to work instead (for subsistence...).

I'm Sr EE student at the university of california. Most of my course work has been in high frequency electronics, signal processing, and electromagnetics. Anyone else here in to Analog..heh?

I'm about to enter my final year in a bachelor's program of Electrical Engineering Technology from a Penn State campus. I went from knowing nothing about electronics my first year to being one of the top in what's left of the class (sadly enough).

Since 1994: Electronic technician working for the Instrumentation Support Contractor for a small DOD research organization. High Explosives Testing. Imagine: the Air Force drops bombs on my work place. When things blow up, they don't blame me, they thank me.

1979 - 1994: Electronic technician at a NASA satellite tracking station. Great pay, same old boring BS every day.

1978 - 1979: journeyman marine electrician at a shipyard. What was I thinking?

1973 - 1977: 4 wonderful years in a Military Intelligence unit, as an electronic technician ( 33D, Intercept Record Systems Repairman ). There were 3 places overseas a 33D could go: Berlin; Shemya, Alaska and Sinop, Turkey. Shemya is the next-to-the-last island out in the Aleutians, the Air Force got that last island.

Before that, I was a kid. Started learning electronics the first day of fourth grade.

I'm a Mechatronics engineering undergrad student. I'm interested in different fields of engineering so I'm enjoying myself so far. Good to learn a bit of everything.

ok, so may be an introduction wont hurt,
i am a power engineering student which mostly deals with mechanical and a bit with electrical field
(actually it specializes in power generation mostly by thermal power plants and a little with nuclear and hydro) .due to my interest in various fields of engineering i m little less than a jack of some trades and master of possibly one or none(depends).
come to think of it few years back i was also interested in biology.
 
I'm an E & E graduate from the Malaysian Petronas University. From Malaysia, yes. I am now currently working as a project engineer (yaaawn!) with a local company that works with a multinational train manufacturer to build metro cars for the Kuala Lumpur transit system.

Hi my name is Roger. Im in the telecommunications field. I have just joined up today. My main reason that I came here is im into model trains and need to learn more about stepper motors.
 
I'm a patent attorney who writes patents for complicated electronic devices. I have a bachelors in electrical engineering and a jd, of course.

for my job, i need to be able to understand the theory behind pretty much everything, although i need to be able to know how to design nothing. i joined in hopes of finding answers to some theory questions i have and others that may arise from time to time that my old textbooks and wikipedia can't answer for me.

I don't think so. For your job, you just need to describe a device, using complicated words, in such manner that other devices to come will be automatically covered and will automatically infringe the patent, based on the technology under the patent or not. Plus, you have to do it so the inventor cannot recognize its own invention while reading the patent. You just have to be careful about prior art. :D

:rotfl: that's somewhat accurate, although in order to be able to describe a device you have to understand how the thing works. you also have to be able to understand the inventor; or worse, you have to be able to realize all the stuff an inventor left out of an invention disclosure because, to an engineer with a PhD and 27 years of experience it's implicit and doesn't need to be mentioned.

Indeed. It might be a little help for your job!
