I'm stuck between EE and Civil. I think both could be quite interesting. I picked EE as that is probably what I'd most likely get the chance at. Really if I was better at math I could probably easily move to that career path if I wanted to. I know my way fairly well when it comes to electrical, if my math was better I'm sure I could pick up the more advanced stuff. Though, is there even lot of complex math like calculus in EE? Or is it mostly algebra and geometry?
 
i think if i did college over again, i'd go mechanical with materials background, rather than materials w/ mechanical background.

i still love what i learned though. my focus was on steel and fracture mechanics.

I've never seen anybody seriously use UML I've seen very high level box and line diagrams, but nothing strictly UML.

Heh, I had to take a software engineering class for my cs major and we had to do all that bullshit.
 
Electrical, and I almost was one but me and civil engineering didn't get along. Physics wasn't my friend either. I could do the electrical engineering fine, up through junior level classes but the civil and "physical" physics didn't work.

So you're familiar with this? :sneaky:

Assuming I knew how to code more than just HTML/CSS like I do now, Software Engineer.

I'm starting to a little bit of front end stuff at work and I'm having to learn HTML/CSS and I don't like it.

My internal webapps are mostly just ugly tables. Now I'm doing some public stuff and it has to actually look nice.

Does this have something to do with annealing?

The only charts I've seen like that are the thermal profiles that you use for a soldering oven.

<-- EE/SW engineer

EE and SW are probably the exception 😉

It's just the iron-carbon phase diagram. Staple in any 200-level materials class.
 
Mechanical Engineer here. I am doing high speed machine design on bottle filling equipment. All depends what you want to do.
