I'm a student at Georgia Tech and I'm currently a mechanical engineering major. I'm considering taking on electrical engineering also. Would this really give me any advantage in the engineering field?

I would like to start a career at Google, and I seriously composed a 15 page report on how to do it. The only thing I'm not sure on is: can I get in working on computers with an Electrical Engineering degree with a computer hardware focus, or do I need a Computer Engineering degree? I'm really neither interested in working on power systems, nor do I want to sit in front of a computer 8 hours either. I'm trying to find a harmonious balance between computer software/hardware. So, Electrical/Computer Engineering?

I am a college sophomore studying in electrical engineering, and have recently been thinking that I may want to pursue a specialty in power. If you have worked as a power systems engineer, can you tell me about your experiences, some of the projects you've worked on, and possibly what an average day of work might be like for you? What things did you do in college to help you prepare for your job?

Ok, I will try to keep this story as short as possible. My husband is originally from the Philippines and worked there for about 10 years as a product manager to a very large marketing company in Manila. He was very good at his job and they didn't want him to leave as he was one of the most valuable employees they had. Following his ex and because of her life long dream was for her to live and work in NYC, he left glady of course, to the US. Since he arrived here in 2007, he has been applying as a sales engineer (which he says is like an entry level position in his field), taking care of their daughter, and working as a restaurant manager. Not to mention, he and his ex wife got divorced, he met me, and we are now happily married with our 1 year old daughter. But I know he's missing something.... his real job. He has a Bachelors in Electronics Engineering and Communications all cleared out from the evaluation which tells us the equivalent of his education in the Philippines vs. the education here in the US. And it shows that he actually acquired more credits needed here in the U.S. to get his degree. This agency also evaluated his job experience to that of the job experience here in the U.S. which equals to 5 years. His English is clear as can be, you'd think he was born here as a Filipino-American. So, when I have time from school, work and taking care of our baby, I apply and apply and appllllllllllllyyyyyyyy for him. Nothing. I am very good with filling out applications and resumes. Trust me... We get nothing... A friend told me to see if he can volunteer his time at any organization so he can show off his skills and maybe get lucky and meet the right person. I tried looking, I found one... which looks great but the majority of the volunteer work is based overseas. Pending his green card, that is not going to work until after the card gets in our hands. I will still try to get in touch with that organization for him. His employees at his restaurant love him and ask him all the time "why are you working here?" "you are too smart for this job." All customers and even his bosses see his tremendous potential. So, my question to you reading this is... Do you know of ANY entry level positions such as/or in electrical engineering, IT-tech, sales engineering, etc. in the NYC area or anywhere else in the U.S. for that matter? He's been thinking about pursuing a certificate program at IT Tech so he can be more appealing as a entry level candidate. I go back and forth with him, saying "no!, you already have a bachelors and 10 years experience, why not go for your masters?" And we get no where. I just hate to see him working 65 hours a week for chump change, with all the skills and education he has so far. What would be the best direction for him? It is not only about the money, but he truly misses the work he used to do. I knew someone was going to comment about the fact that I am applying for him.. But hes out for work from 5am-6pm. Although he does apply for himself, the fact that I have more time makes it easier for me just to do it for him. These are really just the basic applications that deal with address, employment history... no assestments or anything . And no, its not obvious. But, I understand why you would ask such a question. Next, I think the resume is a possible factor, because I have NO idea what hes talking about when he references certain duties in his past job. I also fixed the formatting but I am not sure if its right or wrong in the engineering world. O boy, I guess I answered my own question and should start at a career center where they can fix his resume. Thanks anyway, Rick.

What kind of an engineer would supervise and direct projects such as bridge building, road building, building towers, building windmillls in the sea, and by direct these, I mean that this engineer would be present at the site during the entire construction process and be outdoors the whole time with the construction workers. Would a mechanical, civil engineer do this type of work?

I know all engineering majors are hard, but I would just like to know which one is least difficult. Here's a list. Please order them from hardest to easiest. * Aerospace Engineering * Bioengineering * Industrial Engineering * Chemical Engineering * Civil and Environmental Engineering * Electrical Engineering * Computer Engineering * Mechanical Engineering I'm going in as a chemical engineering major but I'm having doubts. I think I will be able to handle it. I got a 5 on my AP Chemistry exam and a 4 on my AP Calculus BC Exam, and a 5 on my AP Computer Science exam. I also got a 5 on my AP Biology exam so I am actually thinking about Bioengineering. I like biology. Does anyone think that I will make it? Should I drop chemical for bioengineering? Do Bioengineers get good job opportunities?
