I don't understand how oil and gas industry has anything to do with electrical engineering jobs?? Am I not seeing this because currently I am working as a electronics engineer ? This is how I am thinking about this - Oil and gas industry , digs up oil , provides it to our cars and trucks so they can run. Now I don't understand how or where "Electrical engineers" come into play into this ?? Please make me understand. I want to know. P.s: I am an entry level electronics engineer, with a degree in "Electrical engineering" , Currently I am located in Houston, texas.

Control Engineering seems like one of these engineering disciplines that you don't find people talking about much on the web. Do people find it satisfying to be a Control Engineer? Also, despite the fact the Wikipedia article states that intimacy with the physical system is preferred, one of the profs in my uni told us that most of the time Control Engineers only do math. If Control Engineers are not really involved in the process of developing the actual system, it certainly seems like a big turnoff for me.

I graduated Magna c. Laude with a Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering but am stuck working in Quality at the moment. I've applied everywhere to get either an aerospace engineering or guidance, navigation and control engineering position but to no avail. I'm considering becoming an officer in the air force as I think it will be more hands-on, interesting and challenging. My question is, is it difficult to become an officer in the air force? Would my good grades and year of work experience in industry help? Is it like applying to a job or more like enlisting? Thanks so much! Also, I want to be a aerospace engineer or space operations engineer. Does that make things harder?

I'm studying a HNC at the moment, hopefully moving on to an engineering degree in a few years time. When I first left school I wanted to become an electrician, when completing the level 3 certificate, I thought that I might as well try out electrical engineering, the thing I didn't like about electrical installation was that many of the people doing it were constantly negative, they'd always complain. It kind of seems that, if I were to work as an electrician, I'd become like them. Ever since I've been on this higher education course (HNC Electrical Engineering), I've enjoyed it much more, the people seem smarter and much more positive. However I'm not sure which subdiscipline to go into. I like the idea of telecommunications engineering, control engineering and instrumentation engineering. Power Engineering is dealing with very high voltage, i'm generally an anxious person so I think that knowing I could could get a huge electric shock would make me very nervous. Telecommunications Engineering is apparently a good career to choose as it is in demand, we will always need telecommunications, I'm not sure what the work would be like though, I haven't learnt much about it yet as I'm in my first year. I enjoy using computers, I'm interested in programming, I want to use my electrical knowledge in combination with programming, I enjoy solving complex problems, I'd like a career that would allow progression, because I know that I'm prepared to work very hard at something I will enjoy. Also I'd like to be highly paid, but I think that's just as important as enjoying the job.

I have to measure the angle of an inverted pendulum which sits on top of a remote control car. It is a control engineering project for uni. I've been advised that i can purchase a sensor to do the job, or use a potentiometer. I dont fully understand how either of these solutions work so any advice would be much appreciated.

I am one semester away from graduating with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I'm currently looking for a job with a few potential prospects from recruiters, but am unsure about the work I might be doing. I really enjoyed this class I took on process control involving PID control theory and using Control Station Loop Pro to simulate bump tests on offline systems. I really want to be a control engineer and do exactly this! Anyone with experience know where I can find jobs by using this kind of software to keep plants at their steady state or maybe any graduate programs in controls? Also, I think it would be really cool to work in Asia like Singapore or Japan, but can only speak English.
