I'm studying Electrical Engineering in college, but I'm worried about all the outsourcing. I am particularly interested in things like embedded design and communication, but I am mainly opened to any. I really want to be a design engineer though. I ask myself how can design engineering jobs be outsourced when in design engineering the design is coming from a person's imagination? Engineering jobs will always be plentiful in the US, right?

I've been reading a lot about engineering jobs and was surprised to find that there's very little calculus being used in many of them. I like advanced math and I'm heading to engineering college next year (after I complete my prerequisites at a 2-year college) and was wondering what sort of jobs for computer science & engineering grads use a lot of math? I'm interested in working on anything really high-tech. Anything to do with physics simulations or graphics, or cutting edge IC design.

I am a mechanical design engineer working in product development in the U.S., and I am pursuing work as a contractor. I have a potential client that is willing to hire me and pay a gross salary without an agency. Do I need my own liability insurance? I am not a licensed PE, if that makes any difference.

Hello, I was wondering if a physics degree, with a concentration in microelectronics, would be a viable degree for an engineering job. I am very interested in electronics, however my college doesn't have an engineering program, but it has this degree. I'd love to be an electrical engineer, working with electronics, but I don't want to get out of college just to find out that the physics degree leaves me unemployable as an engineer. I'd take a few engineering electives to complement the degree too. Thank you for the help!
