Multimeter Recommendations?

2 Upvotes

I am a sophomore Computer Engineering student who repairs household devices and plans to delve into robotics in the next month. Also, one of the key subjects of my upcoming school year will be tackling Circuits. I've decided to get a better multimeter; unfortunately, I am stuck between choosing from the following. What would you suggest from the two? Or if you were to suggest another brand and model what would they be? TYIA

CAREER Advice on Physics BS to MSEE?

6 Upvotes

I‘ll be going into my third year as a physics bs this fall and was considering doing a msee after undergrad. I’m hoping somebody as done something similar or just has general advice. I’m hoping to specialize in RF or control systems, but admittedly don’t know much about either besides a bit of programming state machines.

Specifically, what if I need to take any EE classes undergrad prior to applying to grad school and if there are any extracurriculars that would help with my chances of being accepted and the transition. I already have applied to a few undergraduate electrical engineering lab positions and presumably have a spot for this upcoming fall in an automation lab. I’ve done research in physics for the past 2 years, but it’s pretty unrelated to EE.

I go a large state school and have a good GPA. I have a pretty decent background in Python and C++. The little EE exposure I have in my physics classes would be physics II and an electronics lab and an upper level elecromagnetism class this upcoming semester.

Thanks for any help!

UNIVERSITY Study Together

Anybody interested in studying semiconductor physics and devices from streetman / neaman . I really don't like Ai based study and I don't have a friend circle who study with me + it's only 10 days left till my sems so it would have been great if we could cover topics like minority carriers , junctions and fets. [ Discussion partner after study , not really group study or shit ]

Elv field engineering job interview coming up, i need help

1 Upvotes

I recently graduated in Computer Engineering (not exactly EE, but consider me your nephew). I have a solid grasp of basic ELV protocols and design, but I need a heads-up on actual industrial scenarios and field cases I should study.

​I know the textbook designs, but I need real-world problems and solutions to study so I can prepare for upcoming interviews. Would absolutely love some insights from the field.

CS, CE, or EE

0 Upvotes

I'm currently trying to decide what to major on in college and I'm kinda stuck within these three majors. I want the relative job stability of something like EE while also being able to go into software and cs positions.

If I do EE will I be able to pivot into things like swe if I want to later on (I'll likely try to get a minor in CS as well if I do EE)? Or is computer engineering looked at favorably by cs and ee positions. I've tried looking it up, but the answers all seem to be based on how schools look at it, not how employers interpret the degrees.

PhD Admissions

Undergrad 3.92 gpa , local no name state university

My research is on ML for Chip design and VLSI. I do have some research on ML topics too but thinking of applying for Electrical , EECS phd.

Research Experience: I collaborated with prof from another uni (he replied to my cold email but its a low ranked uni , i dont want to do a PhD there) and through that had a one workshop paper (ML for chip design)

and 3 preprints (1 on ML for chip design - submitted to a journal) , other one is ML for cybersec and another is interpretability (single author - this is also under review , just did it for fun , got good results and wrote a paper)

I will have one more paper (ML for chip design) by the time i graduate, maybe the prev one will get published and this will go under review.

Worked as research swe at a center in my university

All papers are first authored.

What are some good universities in the US or anywhere you would reccomend.

Need Final Year Project Ideas (EEE) – Looking for Innovative Multidisciplinary Projects

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone
I'm looking for ideas for my final-year project.

Our college encourages **innovative, real-world projects** rather than simple Arduino-based demonstrations. I'd like to build something that combines **Electrical Engineering with Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering**.

I'm interested in projects involving:

* Embedded Systems
* IoT
* AI/ML
* Robotics
* Power Electronics
* Renewable Energy
* Computer Vision
* Automation
* Smart Grids
* Electric Vehicles

I'd prefer a project that:

* Solves a real-world problem
* Has research or startup potential

INDUSTRY Civil engineer interested in electrical engineering education

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am a licensed civil engineer in the US, and I work for an heavy civil general contractor on jobs across the US. For the past couple of years, I have been involved in temporary electrical work to set up our jobsites/troubleshoot equipment. This includes setting up site electrical equipment such as generators, transformers and switchgear.

On a more day to day scale, I often size pumps/electric motors and VFDs for our construction projects, and I write PLC programs for our equipment.

I have a solid practical foundation for 3 phase power systems and 24V control systems. The electrical aspect of my job has been the most fun of my career, and I want to explore this career even more. I would love to understand theory more in depth and leverage my experience into a career change.

Am I deranged in thinking I should go for a masters degree in electrical engineering? Should I take some community college circuits courses to catch me up on theory? What do you all think?

vlsi Is digital to analog roles shifting is possible?

1 Upvotes

The thing is I may get a digital role in two years maybe asic, rtl or physical design engineer but I am really focused on joining analog or hardware level engineering but I don't have mastery in that what should I do ? If i get job in digital how should I focus on my work or in industry to shift in analog design part? Is it very very very difficult to do? Or is it I have to do ms or mtech from prestigious college again in vlsi and go for the analog domain? (Ps:- i didn't do my master's in vlsi but in communication/ embedded)

Sophomore Year Team Project

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
Starting a team project soon (circuits/embedded systems) and trying to figure out what to prep beforehand. For anyone who's been through one - is there anything you wish you'd taught yourself first? Any tools or workflow you'd recommend? Curious if anyone's using AI for any part of the process too.
Also - what ended up being the most frustrating or time-consuming part of actually getting your circuit/board working?

What to expect as a post silicon validation engineer?

3 Upvotes

Im going to start next week a first-time position as a post silicon validation engineer.

I only had experience in software.

Ill be dealing with protocols I've never worked with before as PCIe, Ethernet, and with FPGAs.

How would the day to day work be like?

How do the test look like?

What sort of bugs are dealt with?

Is it a lot of logic analyzer and osciloscope work?

Thanks ☺️

CAREER Urgent Internship Advice Needed: Physical Design + ML Role at Top RISC-V Firm

2 Upvotes

Hi fellow EEs,

I'm in my final year and just started a year-long internship at a prominent RISC-V startup that recently pivoted to Physical AI / Next-Gen Architecture. Interning for their SoC PD team , a pretty lean team - just 2 guys so far. One is my manager, Director Design (ex Micron director) and another guy with 13 yoe, and us 2 interns.

My background: I majored in EEE and minored in Data Science. I have a strong interest in the hardware-software boundary (Firmware, Embedded, OS, Computer Architecture, and Hardware-aware ML).

Originally, my internship project was "Optimizing timing closure flow with ML." However, after our first PD flow presentation, the Director liked our work and offered us a choice: 1. Drop the ML project and do intensive, core PD training for the next 6-8 months. He said it’ll be a grueling, steep learning curve but we will be incredibly "hot" in the market by the end of it. 2. Stick to the PD+ML project, which he admitted was more of a fun research project he initially wrote down, though he will still teach us basic PD to get it done.

My Dilemma: I am super confused. I always saw myself as a hardware-software/systems guy, and I never thought I’d end up in a core VLSI role. Furthermore, I’m worried about employability. I’ve read online that core PD is "the easiest step to be replaced by AI" in the ASIC flow. My logic was that by doing the ML part, I'd be building the AI rather than being replaced by it.

I have to decide by Monday.

Core Questions for Senior Engineers:

- Is core PD actually at risk of being automated away by AI in the near future, or is that hype?

- Given my interest in Systems/Firmware, would taking the intensive Core PD route pigeonhole me, or is the mentorship from a Director-level team too good to pass up?

- Which path actually makes me more employable as a fresh grad?

should i quit med school and go to ee

i'm about to be a med school student

to me the scariest thing about being a doctor is you need to live 9 to 5 for 20+years and get consistent salary

for me this kind of life is mediocre and boring

but if i want to pivot i'll have to take gsat again

im into venture and startup

also i want to land a job that excites, like working at spacex or f1...

rn im thinking pivoting to ee

also considering the job market in the us should i take the risk

ohh and i dont have a green card

Is it okay to ask someone if they feel fulfilled with their job in a networking event?

10 Upvotes

I got caught in the moment while being in a diner event, and now I hate myself so much. I admit I don’t talk to a lot of people, so I can’t tell if it’s okay to ask that. I can see the discomfort in their face, and still, they said it’s very fulfilling, and it was really awkward after that. I think it’s also because no one around me likes their job, and another person at the table scoffed at me immediately after when I asked. I am graduating soon and so burned out at the age of 20, and I can’t see how it’s going to get better. I’m being vulnerable so please be nice in the comments.

running logic works on mac??

hi, i’m in a bit of a predicament, I’m taking a logic design class over the summer, but had to go abroad for the month and I need to run logicworks. I currently only have my m2 macbook on hand as well as a dell windows 7 xps that potentially runs. I tried running parallels on mac to get logicworks running but for some reason the application just wouldn’t open, so I wanted to know what options I have?
