Electronic engineering & electrical engineering , difference? & some questions...
    #4855875 -

I'm going to go to school to learn about electrical installation and some electronics stuff .

The course starts on january and finishes on june i can then go on to do electronic engineering or electrical engineering and other stuff along those lines and i need to choose what to do.

I want to have enough qualifications to be an electrician , i then might gain some more qualifications to do something higher up with better pay .

What would be best to study do you think? is there much difference between electrical engineering and electronic engineering . Seems like whatever one i choose i'll learn the same stuff anyway?

thanks

i studied to become an electronics engineer. i learned nothing of building codes, 3-phase, or much else that applies to industrial design save robotics and microprocessors.

i honestly don't know the difference but that is the vein in which i thought it laid.

I wish I went to engineering school. Damnit. I would have either chosen chemistry, civil, or mechanical.

i'm very seriously considering going back for civil. i wasted my time and $$ on my electronics education. it is quite the hobby but not much of a career for me.

is it hard to find a career in electronics?

If you already have exposure to any side of engineering I'm sure you could hack right through it.

I just didn't think I could go past calculus 2 and keep my sanity. But, being more mature now, I realize the mistake was made. Maybe in the future I'll go back and see what I can do.

depends on what you really want to do.
i had intended to do R&D for someone like Intel.
my education was nothing near what I needed for that.

I did several years in network administration and now i do construction management so I'm not the most reliable person to question about career paths.

Im in electrical engineering technology right now, and basically we work more hands on than EEs.  After you get your associates you can either aim to learn more analog power, or digital type stuff like microcontrollers.  I like technology better than EE just because of the fact that we do a lot more hands on circuit type stuff rather than paper/conceptual type stuff. :shrug:  We take a hit in pay tho, probably around a 5k-10k paycut. :whatever:

my schooling involved 2hrs of theory and 2hrs of laboratory (hands/on) every day
the 2 went hand in hand in that we put on silicon what we'd just put on paper

So what kind of job did you land right out of school? I'm assuming you have already graduated.

Travel job kinda thing? I've heard you can make boatloads of cash on those types of jobs.

Both Electrical and Electronic Engineering involve college with lots and lots of calculus. They are, after all engineering courses. To become an Electrician, you'd need to go to a trade/vocational schools. It's quite a bit less involved than the former....
