Aditi asked Katie Smith, Appalachian Power Company Added Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 9:52 AM How can I make myself more employable? My degree is very similar to yours. I was recently very disheartened when I freaked out after giving possibly the worst coding test for a summer internship. Is there anyway I can prepare better for next time? I'm pretty fine with electrical stuff, I just struggle a lot with the computer science / computer engineering aspect. Answers 1 Katie Smith, Appalachian Power Company Answered Tuesday, October 9, 2018 at 3:09 PM Aditi, the old saying "Practice makes perfect" is really true. Just keep studying hard and you will excel. Find what you're passionate about and focus on that. If it's not computer related then so be it. My rule I followed until I overcame my self-doubt ...
Shobhita Added Monday, December 11, 2017 at 12:40 PM Confused as to what to do after my bachelor's. I'm sure that I want to to study further, but not sure what specifically. I'm interested in power engineering(smart grids, renewables) but I'm scared. I'm wondering if it will be too tough to study because a most people I know say so. Also, I have an interest in aerospace, but it is hard for a an electrical engineering student to study in that field. Any suggestions? I'm in my third year. Also if you have any university suggestions, I'd be grateful. Answers 1 Katie Smith, Appalachian Power Company Answered Wednesday, December 20, 2017 at 11:38 AM If you are interested in aerospace I would suggest you take some mechanical electives. The more diversity in your education the better. If your university offers a renewable energy course as an elective I would also take that. Any education after your ...
Sam Added Saturday, August 5, 2017 at 1:30 PM Are there any kinds of engineering careers that include design and problem solving? Hands on work, and computer design? My math is weak, trouble shooting and creativity skills are strong. I'm two years into my graphic design degree, but lately I think I've realized that I want a little more. I miss working in a warehouse and doing things hands on, but also I love to design and I'm good with photoshop, rendering programs, etc. I love to build things. Are there any degrees/careers that include both? Like I said math isn't my strongest subject but I'm very creative and I enjoy problem solving. I also get along well with people so that isn't a concern. Answers 1 Katie Smith, Appalachian Power Company Answered Wednesday, August 23, 2017 at 2:57 PM Sam, There are many engineering careers that are design related, but I might suggest an associate engineering program if your math is weak and prefer a hands on environment. Many careers like the one you are searching for will only require a 2 year ...
