All sorts of engineering is good. Go for it.

Whatever takes your fancy mate. There's good jobs in engineering. If you like circuitry, go for electrical. Cars? Mechanical. Planes? Aerospace. etc.

In your country maybe. We're second only to the Yanks for aerospace.

What's so difficult to engineer in electricity?

But the "yanks" are firing aeronautical engineers left right and center.

You should do the branch that interests you the most. If you hate what you are doing in this field it will kill your soul.

>which interests you most

good meme

you have no idea what intersts you until you try it

I am stuck in an EE degree and it's boring as fuck.

How can I excite myself for it?

Create your own projects or build something.
If you have a little knowledge in programming:
arduino.cc/ and such things.
With these you could create cool stuff.

I mean how do I excite myself for the material I have to study? It's pretty removed from anything practical I would do. Like I wouldn't need an EE degree to tinker with microcontrollers.

It will always be in need. Electricity is everywhere.
Too bad the pay in Finland is pretty shit.

That's the industry that increased in Poland so much, its also for me a surprise, but after finishing ae you are realy appreciated in Poland.

I am studying EE as well
it's so boring so I switched into electronics

Chemical, electrical, civil, and mechanical.

to be honest, many electrical applications will be replaced with the light technology - for sure those that need fast transfer of data/ fast computing

I practically don't know anything about EE, but I have to deal with many theoretical aspects in my studies too.
You have to develop some ambition and will to really understand what you are studying there, not just read it, but really understand where it comes from and what it truly means.
What I think is that it would embarrass me totally I someone asked me something about my subject and I didn't know it. The thought that I might not be able to answer something annoys me.

Dude, I work with kiloamps and kilovolts. That you can't put into light.

Yes, more so then programming.

>what would you describe as the best engineering degree to attend?
The one you like.

user, are you alright?

top kek

Krautchan?
Krautchan.

a-user... i-it's time to take a break from the computer...

>to be honest, many electrical applications will be replaced with the light technology
And who do you think studies photonic devices too?
A: EE.

Material Science Engineering (Nanobots) and Neuroscience (AI) will be the absolute top tier fields of the future. Anyone right now at a top institution should jump on that train ASAP. EE,CE,ME,CS,AE will be a tier lower but still very solid and stable.

This is true for just about any science (real science, non of that psychology bullshit) or engineering. STEM degrees have a future. At minimum they teach you a useful way to think (problem solving skills and analytical skills). Other majors like english, communications, etc. only focus on the present and don't teach these skills.

What a stupid fucking question. OP must be a Gook or Curry Nigger to ask such a thing. The best engineering degree is the one you enjoy the most.

electrical engineering is all math. applied math. the electronic part is a bit of a lost cause.

the main issue with engineering is a tendency to get shoehorned into a specific specialty that uses specific software tools.

jobs are there if you know software XYZ version 1.23.

If you mean electronics, enjoy having the feel of not knowing about anything slightly complex at all until you have your phd and finally know what does what and how to design accordingly.

I've heard optics and photonics is pretty good, that's what I'm studying. In all honesty I have no fucking clue what interests me and only went engineering because I liked physics and math over chem and biology.

is it recommended or possible to go into materials engineering with an EE degree for a grad program?

...

This might be the correct thread if any posters can help. I know next to nothing about circuits and was wondering if someone could draw a quick walk through towards output with the following inputs (like directions and what happens at the gates and wire crossovers)
00
01
10
11
or just explain how the circuit works. sorry for probably babby tier shit

I'm not gonna do it for you, but if you can't do something like this mentally, in your head,

you should label each of the gates 1,2,3,etc... and then make a table

left most column has the inputs
to the right of that is gate 1, list the output
to the right oof that is gate 2, list the output
etc...

eventually you get to the last gate and it will tell you what the value is.

alright so then would it be respectively for right most upper output
2
1
1
0
and for rightmost lower
1
1
1
0

so what it means by the sum notation is just literally the bit-wise summation of the inputs e.g. 0+0 =0, 1 +1 = 2, etc. and the carry is the bit-wise product? What exactly is the purpose of the carry bit when the circuit is intended for adding two bits?

it's binary, so you can never get "2" as an output value

since we're using NAND gates, inputs (1,1) gives an output of 0

The circuit is an example of combinatorial logic.
The carry bit is useful in sequential logic, where a timing is used, and the carry bit is usually the input for the same circuit, or part of a new circuit (consisting of more combinatorial logic)

so then the input 00 outputs 1? Still not quite sure what you mean by timing, I'll keep studying though, thanks

yes, that's what a NAND gate does.

all inputs give an output of 1, except for input (1,1)
which gives an output of 0

About timing,
Imagine that you were to send an input at (x1,x2) every second.

Then the output you get at the last gate is going to change over time.
Sometimes, you use the carry bit as the input for one of the x values to "roll over" your previous sum. You'll see this if you look at adders with more than 2 bits.

By doing this, you can create circuits that are powered on/off for very specific amounts of time

How do the prospects in the mathematical side of EE (Information Theory, Coding, Comms, Control, DSP, etc) compare to that of the physics side (RF, Microwave, EM, solid-state, photonics, optics, etc)

Would I be wrong in saying that the physics side is less competitive in terms of grad school admissions / getting a PhD as a whole since most of the demonic satan-tier mathematical geniuses would be over on the math side while the physics side involves a lot of applied work?

What about in industry? In this case the mathematical side seems more versatile as a whole due to interrelation with CS topics like big data or ML, whereas physics side seems very niche and thus limited in terms of job openings.
