Micah Scott Added Wednesday, January 17, 2018 at 8:25 AM How do you find an ethical use for engineering, when humans are mostly building unsustainable systems of oppression and resource extraction? I’ve had a career in computer and electrical engineering, but it’s hard to see the upside in this stuff any more. Technologies can help people sure, but only within the massively inequitable system that powers our tech. How would an engineer use their skills to contribute positively to the world?

It doesn't have to be unsustainable. Living without tech is also becoming ...Read More
Tom Holmes Added Saturday, February 17, 2018 at 2:48 PM I have a bachelor's in applied mathematics. I would like to know is it worth it to go straight into a graduate degree for electrical engineering or should I get a bachelor's first? I would like to go into signal/image processing, but also want a graduate degree in electrical engineering. Should I first get another bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and then go on to graduate school for it, or should I go straight into the graduate program for it. I have read that that plenty of people go into engineering graduate programs without the undergrad but am curious about your opinion on it. My grades and GRE scores are good enough to get into Columbia, and the admit ... Answers 1 Khadijah Latiff, Chicago Transit Partners Answered Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at 10:16 AM Tom, congratulations on your decision to apply to graduate school! I think it is totally fine and reasonable to go into graduate program for electrical engineering with a bachelor's in applied mathematics. Talk to your advisors or professors later if ...Read More
Audrey Rubart Added Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at 12:34 AM I'm wondering if I should continue majoring in electrical engineering. How do you know if this field is for you? I am a college freshman in electrical engineering and my first year classes are pretty hard and not terribly interesting. This makes it hard to stay interested in this major. Someday I want to work in the space industry (like NASA or SpaceX), and since I really enjoyed my physics classes in high school, I thought that this major would be a good fit. I'm wondering if I made the right choice. It's hard to tell if I like this major or not because I think introduction classes don't really show what ...
