I am an electrical and an energy engineering major. An electrical engineer is
responsible for
powering up everything and
whatever
uh... everything in today's world runs off of electricity
so whether it be a digital camera, whether it be your lights, whether it be
you know your laptop or
you know you get on a larger scale and you're dealing with the motors and uh...
you know
things like that, transformers and substations;
everything involves electricity nowadays
And so an electrical engineer has to physically
touch all that stuff uh... And the energy engineering aspect of it, is
particularly relevant to today's world uh... the College of Engineering just opened a new minor
called energy engineering and so I am enrolled in that now.
um...
And it's has a direct focus on
uh... how
how electrical engineering and chemical engineering and
mechanical engineering
can be applied in and adapted to make more renewable resources and
updated in more efficient machines and tools
and things like that,
as everything in today's world is starting to go more green.
So engineering is,
is a process.
In anything that an engineer in the real world will design
it's a process of deciding first what you know what you need, what you need to make. And then
after you decide that, then it
comes down to
what components are you up going to need, who are you going to need to talk to
to make said product.
And
basically the engineering, while in school you're learning the technical
formulas
and equations and principles and laws of physics and science,
once you get down to doing real engineering work it
is
collaborating with others and using that knowledge
to build
your specific part that you are responsible for, for a larger product.
