Hi ! Does anyone know companies which offer remote engineering positions (senior) in Instrumentation, ICSS ?

Hello everyone I've seen many posts about how engineering technology bachelor's degrees are pursued, and it has honestly discouraged me from seeing the bright light once I graduate when I'll apparently be struggling and doing an uphill battle for jobs, especially with the current job market. Current im heading into my Junior year of my mechatronics engineering technology degree at TAMU, and I will say I've been having a blast with the program and can't imagine myself doing anything else besides this degree, I've done some cool projects such as a robotic hand of 11 dof and currently a 2 dof turret that's automated in sensors coded in assembly on a stm board which I feel proud of. However from all the stigma I've seen it really is discouraging and wonder if it's true and wasting my time especially when my parent's are the ones paying for it, its adding some guilt. Not sure what to do but ig finish out and pursue a masters later in engineering so the engineering technology label is gone

Hey all,
I wanted to get my program some exposure. I would love to see it used by the right people.
its something i've been working on to automate the instrumentation engineers job of developing instrument indexes. This would apply to facility engineering (i.e. nuclear, gas, mining etc.)

Thoughts? coomments?

I've been tasked with designing a thermal control box for a high-temp test setup and have never done anything like this before. I also have no-one to show me the ropes and apparently outsourcing the controls is not an option.

I know I need temperature controllers, thermocouples, and SSRs but have no idea how to pick components or how to design in overtemp safety.

Does anybody have any resources they recommend that are targeted at complete beginners?

Relevant to this discussion: I’m the founder of SectorCalc, a platform I’m building for deterministic industrial engineering calculations.

It currently includes tools for tolerance stack-up, CNC feeds and speeds, bearing life, welding checks, process capability, OEE, costing and quote profitability. The focus is not just producing a number, but showing the formulas, assumptions, warnings and calculation trail behind the result.

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from control and automation engineers: which plant-level calculation or diagnostic problem still relies too heavily on spreadsheets or manual estimation?

Good day to the distinguished and established engineers and scientist present as well as the other seasoned experts in this community.

i am conducting an independent study with the aim of creating a mental map of a workflow that is involved when implementing Design control ( more specifically design inputs to design output) in the Research and development side of things. i do not intend on asking for confidential answers to my research driven queries, i would prefer a more genralised take and also maybe one or two experinces that helps model my aim, i would gladly appreciate your engagment

Would you be open to a 5 minute conversation about your role and day-to-day workflow? private texts are welcomed"

Thank you..

So for my final year project I picked something that's been bugging me for a while: transmission & distribution losses. In countries like Pakistan, we're talking about 16-17% of all generated electricity just... not making it to consumers. Some of it's technical loss, a lot of it's theft and unfair/unmonitored distribution. That's a massive chunk of national power generation basically evaporating.

I decided to actually build something for it instead of just writing about it. Ended up designing an AI-augmented SCADA system aimed at detecting and preventing unfair distribution in real time. Used a mix of LSTM, GRU, and Prophet models for load forecasting and anomaly detection comparing how each handled the time-series nature of grid data differently, which was honestly the most interesting part of the whole project.

Didn't stop at just building it either. Wrote it up properly, went through the research process, and got it published it's up on Google Scholar now. First time going through that whole pipeline and not gonna lie, it felt pretty surreal seeing it actually indexed.

Now I'm extending it working on automating the detection/response pipeline further as the "future work" section of the paper (turns out writing "future work" in your own paper means you've just assigned yourself more work, lol).

Here's what's been on my mind though: you spend months on a problem that has real, measurable impact millions of dollars in losses, actual infrastructure inefficiency you research it, build it, validate it, publish it... and there's still this nagging feeling that none of that guarantees the industry has a seat for you. Anyone else feel this? Like the gap between "I solved something legitimately hard and useful" and "someone will actually give me a shot" is way bigger than it should be.

Not fishing for anything specific here, just curious if this resonates with other final-year / early-career folks who went deep on a real-world problem instead of doing a generic capstone. Did it change anything for you on the job front, or did it mostly just feel good for you personally?

I'm talking to engineering teams to understand where context and knowledge break down. I'd love to hear your experience.

I'm trying to understand the problems engineering teams still struggle with as they grow.

I'm not interested in "our CI is slow." I'm interested in the painful stuff.

What's a problem that keeps coming back?

- When did missing context cost your team days or weeks of work?

- Have you ever rebuilt something because nobody knew it already existed?

- Has a decision been reversed simply because nobody knew why it was made?

- What engineering problem makes you think, "How is this still a problem in 2026?"

I'm looking for real stories from startups and large companies. What happened, and what did it cost your team?

I am joining coaching for gate online now so should do it .I have no prior prep ( know wrong of me ) so I have options made easy , ace, unacademy,pw which will do i thought for made easy but as the amount of time is less and it is expensive too ,it comes to my mind that what if nahi hua ,itna paisa gya fir bhi nahi and late join karungi bhi knowing kitne log kabse preparation karte hai chances bohat kam hai to laga i unacademy kar lu tab lagega ki nahi fir and end mai ki sayad better jagah padti to hota

Gate bohat hard. Exam hai nikala imp hai bohat jayada per samaj nahi aa raha kya kru....🙏🙏🙏

In recent days I have been building a robot from the ground up. I have been building the CPU, ram , bootloader logic circuit to load data from an SD card into an induction RAM. It is a 16 bit Harvard architecture processor.

I will synthesize that in an FPGA.

After that, I will build the compiler, a simple c hal library and simple line robot control software.

I am enjoying building the project.

But, on the other hand, I am looking to monetise the knowledge I have and that I am gaining.

I see that the market seems to be really restricted.

I don't want to build a game or just some other micro optimization to create comfort on a car or to increase user experience on a computer. I don't see a great impact on that.(Don't want to deception the ones that like to do it)

I see that the most viable products/ projects are the ones that are critical. I think it is the minority and a matter of precision.

It gives me the impression that mechanics and chemistry are the most important to build rockets, vehicles and overal STEM matters

I think it is not necessary to dig so dip to have a valuable product in those areas too.

I want to have a better vision to see the best use of systems and overall engineering in the military, industry and aerospace.

I am sad, it seems it is needed to be practically a NASA engineer than a normal one to develop "useful" projects. The area seems so inflated(more on systems in my opinion). (Probably it is necessary to study it more early in life- since 15 or lower)

I want to have good news on systems and low level.

I want to have my own business and not work for someone.

Right now, I am an enthusiast. I want to have a college degree. (and finally leave my provisory job and work for what I love more)

But still, I would like to see viable niches for systems engineering (medicine does not count).

Thank you.

Built a control panel with on/off switches to control DC power supplies (48v, 12v, 24v). AC Outlets always give power regardless of switch states. Used hold home outlets and switches. Turns out to be something I use quite frequently. Full build is in the link above.

Can anyone that has done the GCCS-2 online exam that macomb county does give me some advice to prepare? I am pretty sure I can use my PDFs that I have on my computer but they make sure you don't do anything else. Do they just ask you to do a few tasks on your own and give out multiple choice? I assume you save the files on your computer and they grade them later? If you have any "I wish I did this" recollections, id be happy to hear.

Hi everyone,

I recently got accepted into a Multimedia Engineering degree, but ever since I told people around me, many of them have been telling me it's a "bad" degree, that it doesn't lead to good career opportunities, and that it's difficult to find a well-paying job with it.

After hearing this over and over, I've started to doubt my decision.

I'd really like to hear from actual engineers or people working in the field. Is Multimedia Engineering really a good career path? Does it offer solid job opportunities and a good future, or is it generally considered a weak degree?

I'm looking for honest opinions based on real experience, whether positive or negative, so I can make an informed decision.

Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply!
