Electrical engineering

[kyokusangi]

what facets of electrical engineering will be the hottest in the next say...15 years?

- photonics & semiconductor

-electromagnetics and energy system

-analog and digital electronics

-control & signal processing

-computer hardware & networks (including optical networks)

 

[PHNINE]

Energy systems (conventional/unconventional) are the next wave to hit this field...so I have heard...

 

[ducttape]

Power.

 

[Meister]

Electric cars, power generation

and
perpetual vibrators

 

[antlerman]

Agreed!

in fact out West they are looking for Project Managers for new windmill sites and distribution and installation of alternate power sources.

I would warp drive technicians will be needed

The smallest is always at the leading edge, making circuits smaller and smaller. And batteries are always of interest.

I would say wireless technologies such as RFID, wireless transmission of power (no more power cords!), and spread spectrum RF, just to name a few.

 

[Meister]

, wireless transmission of power (no more power cords!),

For that you have to take a course in Magic.

See TESLA for info

Papasmerf is right again. N. Tesla's dream was the wireless distribution of power.
And all he got was a Standard Unit of Measurment, nammed after him. The Tesla.

By the way I suppose the favorite Standard of Measurement for terbites is
"the Siemen"

....and the Tesla coil!

engineers are bizarre creatures. party like there's no tomorrow in college, then become THE lamest, most uptight, boring, starched, plaid-shirt wearing workaholic dudes once they start working. what's the story there?
