HOW OLD are you?

That's not electrical engineering, that's computer science. And thus you make yourself sound like an idiot. Hardware design is *not* computer science (aka programming). ------ Besides my title is "Electrical Engineer". Always has been, no matter where I worked. This is just a small sample of what I know, because this is what I work upon every day..... but I suspect a lot of it you have no clue what it's about. And that's fine. Because I don't expect one person to know everything there is to know about EE. Not to denigrate Penn State, but graduates of the major EE (as differentiated from CS) schools are expected to be fluent in most if not all areas of ELECTRICAL engineering. ... Phil, Please define what you mean by fluent. I'm not trolling; I would like a serious answer. This has actually been a topic of discussion in some other forums. I don't have an EE degree (I have bachelor's and master's in CS), but my bachelor's degree required some EE classes. I had plenty of EE major friends, many of whom went on to EE-related careers. That sounds like a denigration of Penn State. They did teach me all the basics, but not the advanced stuff (like synchronous AM reception - whatever that is). To expect me to know that is unrealistic. And not fair to the profs at Penn State. Every engineer has his or her own specialty. I am inclined to agree with this. --gregbo gds at best dot com |
