I will put up with them if they give me some decent roads to not drive on. :yum:

Holding your breath for that one, are you?

I wish we would spend billions on the infrastructure.

Yeah, I didn't try too hard to make it clear. I didn't figure anyone would get it.

I guess under the loose definition of the word I am. I'm a few months away from my BSEE, and working as a test engineer in my spare time. It looks like I'm going to be moving out of the field once I graduate though.

Ooh more engineers! :)

I'm currently majoring in chemical engineering. We're using Laplace transforms in my process control class, but I've never heard of the Z transform. Is that when a Z becomes a transformers robot? Lol jk ;)

...I got it...yes...I'm an EE as well...:rolleyes:

oh and my favorite saying "you can't spell geek without double E"
just keep in mind you can't spell beer without it either :tup:

I'm a computer scientist. It's like an engineer who didn't need to know math.

I go to the University of Maryland College Park and I'm in my junior year. If anyone knows of any possible summer internships for chemical engineering, please let me know. Thanks!

Didn't realize how many engineers and "almost engineers" we had here. We should start an EngineerZ club.

Blades, we ought to meet up at one of the Mid-A get-togethers. I don't know of any internships right off hand, but I have contacts with some local companies and organizations.

Haha, I'm just ribbing you. The market for CS guys is much better than it is for EE guys right now anyways.

It's all good, br0. My best friend and his bride-to-be are both big shot engineers. I have mad respect. It's not easy!

Are you gonna be at the next MD meet? I will see you there if you decide to go. I appreciate the help.

I was gonna go to the job fair they're having this week, but those things are completely useless for summer internships. In the fall they tell you to come back in the spring. In the spring they just tell you to apply online. Some companies don't even take resumes there. Last year we weren't even allowed to shake hands :icon14:

GM_Traitor3.5 02-16-2011 03:10 PM

I could use a new job. Anyone hiring around here that needs someone with 4 years of project management experience??

shadoquad 02-16-2011 03:14 PM

lol I'm gonna bring a binder to the next meets to collect resumes. :rofl2:

spinhead 02-16-2011 03:16 PM

Nice, there's quite a few engineering/cs people around here from what I can tell. I'm a DSP/wireless engineer. I wouldn't really say that the job market is worse for EE than for CS, especially if you got your masters. I was interviewing for work fresh out of grad school two years ago right when the recession hit and had no problem getting a job. Some of my CS buddies struggled for a bit around the same time.

That's really the key. I'd really rather not go back for more school, at least not until I've got some more time working.

Except for the place I'm currently working, all my offers have been for non-engineering positions, mostly quant work at banks.

I'm thinking about working for about a year or two and then going back for my masters once I have a better idea of what I want to specialize in. Hopefully whatever company I'm working for will help pay for graduate school.

shadoquad 02-16-2011 04:33 PM

I got my master's by getting a job right out of school that would pay my tuition. Never regretted that.

Yeah that is going to be a big part of my decision of where to work when I first graduate. Right now I'm interested in something in the energy field. The only problem is that in all of my classes so far, all we've done is solve problems. There's no hands on experience in any of our classes until our senior year. I have no idea what I'm going to be doing when I actually start working. I'm hoping an internship will give me a much better idea though.

Hummm... Hands on experience in the Energy field... You could always try your hand at scavenging copper on live circuits. I read all the time about inventive souls that get hands on experience in the energy field that way...

I think that kind of experience is more along the lines of an electrical engineer's work.

Big big BIG money in quant modelling if you're good. :tup:

I noticed. All the offers were outta control, but they wanted me to go to NYC. Kind of negates the point of the extra money.

Salary + bonus (that can be 10x or more the salary) if you're good. I say do it for a few years and retire.

I'd rather work for 40 years, and spend half my time at work posting on the forums.
