Hi everyone,
I want to integrate AI more effectively into my workflow. I am currently using ChatGPT Plus and i am considering to switch to different LLM (like perplexivity or claude) for better productivity and scientific research. I dont have much time to test all of them my own. Since i dont have much time i want to ask you which LLM do you use and is it meet your expectations?
I purchased a machine that was manufactured overseas and this bucket warmer came as an independent accessory with it. It has no type of name plate or manual. It is a hollow reservoir that warms water around a 5 gallon bucket of paint for spraying applications. Can someone please help me identify what voltage is required and if it’s single phase or 3 phase.
Hey guys, im going into year 13 when summer finishes and im rlly interested in electrical engineering, so much so that i am doing my own projects like arduino and stuff and i also wanna be one maybe when i grow up, however, dont these jobs usually require designing the circuit stuff which could be used for haram e.g. bar stools, speakers for music? If ur an ee i would rlly lile to head what you get up to in ur job, thanks
Dag iedereen
Zoon start 1 september aan zijn zesde jaar Tso economie. Hij wil hier niet in verder (ja ik weet het, een beetje laat achtergekomen) en ambieert na zijn secundair een electrische studierichting te volgen.
Hij kwam uit op deze studie. Op de website van Ap Hogeschool staat dat voor deze graduaatsopleiding 0 voorkennis vereist is.
Wie heeft deze studie gevolgd en kan dit bevestigen?

Ive been thinking about this for a while and im not sure which route to go down. I love the sound of both and thats whats making me unsure.
i want to pursue ee but i am worried that the workload is going to be too much as i have just finished school so i am wondering will i be able to work part time forexample 20-30 hours a week and gym 5-6 days a week aswell as get atleast a gpa 3.3 and above and even if i could occasionally party with friends and have a social life instead of being isolated and also getting atleast 8 hours of sleep
I am grade 8 (going to grade 9), living in Canada, and I didn't know what to do until I came across hardware engineering. I've built a pc before for my dad, I've played with Microbit (a PCB) in school before, and I did some JavaScript and Python before (I think I know the basics). I don't know how I should start studying, or what I should do to in order to become a hardware engineer.
Hey I recently got into my dream university and I picked electrical engineering as the major. Is there something I should know or do you have any tips you can give me? I would also really love if someone could give me tips on what hardware I should have and if I should invest into a better computer. Thanks
I was thinking about power factor correction and had a question.
We normally use capacitor banks or APFC panels to improve power factor, but is there any practical way to improve PF without using capacitors?
I’m curious if there are other methods or technologies that can actually work in an industrial setup.

Recently ive passed the exams and will soon go to college. In my university, students can follow one path among 1)Telecoms, 2)Energy, 3)Electronics and embeddyd systems, 4)Software engineering
Can someone help me, telling me which of those
a) Pay the most in early graduates
b) Are the easiest to find jobs, especially in the begiining and where
c) Are best if im stressed about too much competition and get me to do a lot of things outside my college courses
I am about to graduate with my BSEET and plan on pursuing the FE. I took the BSEET because it was funded by my employer but that also limited my ability to pursue internships due to full time employment requirements and school.
One of the career paths I would like to pursue is a career in power or utilities. Would acquiring the EIT license help me gain a role where I can do engineer work under a PE? I understand that the BSEET is a technology degree, but am curious as to why would they allow technology degrees to take the exam if not to pursue an engineering role?
My degree is eligible in the state I live in to pursue licensure at the cost of more work experience*
I’m starting my undergraduate degree in Electrical and Telecommunications Engineering next month, and I have about a month of free time before classes begin.
I’ve already started learning Python through CS50P, but I’d like to use this month strategically and build some skills that will actually help me throughout university and eventually with my career.
For people who have studied electrical/electronics/telecommunications engineering or currently work in the field:
What would you recommend learning before starting the degree?
Are there any technical skills, programming languages, software, tools, or concepts that would give me a head start?
Should I focus on things like C/C++, Arduino/embedded systems, MATLAB/Simulink, Linux, electronics fundamentals, networking, PCB design, or something else?
Are there any skills you wish you had learned earlier during your degree?
What would be a realistic and worthwhile 1-month learning plan if I can spend a few hours each day?
Are there any good free resources, courses, books, or projects you’d recommend?
I’m not trying to cram the entire degree into one month. I mainly want to develop a useful foundation and explore areas of the field so I can figure out what I enjoy and have skills that will compound over the next 4 years.
Any advice from current students, graduates, or people working in electrical/telecommunications engineering would be greatly appreciated.
This October my 1st semester in Electrical engineering School starts and i have to admit that im a bit stressed. The possible paths are 1)Software engineering(full stack developping, AI/ML Engineer, Sybersecurity, Cloud/Dev ops etc..., 2)Telecommunication, 3)Energy, 4)Electronics(VLSI, FPGA, Embedded sytems etc...)
What should i consider for moving abroad(Germany/Switzerland/Netherlands...) and which path would get me have the "easiest job" in terms of searching and applying for jobs as i eould get easily frustated and dissapoiinted if i couldnt find a job within max a month. Which would bring the highest income and fast?
Every help would be remarkable, and thanks for your time, i really appreciate it!!
I built Cirkitra, a browser tool that generates Arduino circuits, wiring, and code from a prompt, then lets you simulate them.
I’d appreciate feedback on its accuracy and usability.

Estoy con una duda a la que en su momento no le di mucha importancia, pero que últimamente me genera más incógnitas: ¿me cambio a Ingeniería Industrial o sigo en Ingeniería en Energía Eléctrica?
Me metí a Ingeniería en Energía Eléctrica sabiendo que es una carrera fundamental para el futuro y que se van a necesitar muchos ingenieros eléctricos debido al crecimiento de la demanda energética mundial por la IA, los centros de datos y los avances tecnológicos. También porque me interesa la física, y creo que se necesitan soluciones y darle una vuelta de tuerca a cómo pensamos y generamos energía eléctrica en el mundo.
Estoy en 2do año. El cuatri pasado cursé una materia de Introducción a la Ingeniería Eléctrica en la facu, donde, valga la redundancia, nos introdujeron a la carrera. No sé si fue por la manera en la que la dieron, pero la sentí anticuada y no me llenó tanto (aun considerando que los profes de la materia son unos cracks). Hicimos visitas a empresas, distribuidoras de energía, proyectos en grupo de soluciones sustentables y vimos conceptos generales de electricidad; bastante completo a mi parecer.
Ahora, si tengo que ser sincero con lo que me gusta y me hace sentir útil y motivado, es construir soluciones a problemas de la vida cotidiana por medio de algún negocio, además de analizar e investigar mercados emergentes. Me gustan las startups, la bolsa, el marketing, la física, las industrias, el sector nuclear, etc.
Hace aprox un año hablé con un tío mío que es ingeniero aeronáutico, a quien le comenté por qué había elegido la carrera, y al escucharme me dijo: '¿Por qué no probás con Ingeniería Industrial, ya que es una carrera que te permite pivotar entre industrias especializándote?'. Desde ahí que me resuena la idea de cambiarme a Industrial.
Pero, por otro lado, tengo miedo de que no haya tanto laburo en Ingeniería Industrial por ser mucho más competitiva que otras ingenierías, o porque requiere de más habilidades extra (programación, ciencia de datos, etc.). También me gustaría seguir aprendiendo más cosas de física y tecnología de vanguardia, no solo quedarme en algo general, cosa que creo que en Ingeniería Eléctrica sí voy a poder profundizar un poco más.
No sé qué hacer, siento que tengo contradicciones internas y me cuesta decidir qué consejo o pensamiento escuchar. Si alguien estuvo en un dilema parecido, me gustaría que me cuente su experiencia y qué le ayudó en ese momento.
TL;DR: Estoy en 2do año de Ingeniería en Energía Eléctrica (UBA) porque me gusta la física y la vanguardia, pero descubrí que me motivan mucho las startups y armar negocios. Dudo si pasarme a Industrial por la versatilidad, pero me da miedo que sea muy competitiva y perder profundidad técnica. ¿Experiencias?
