What are some negative aspects to becoming an electronics or electrical engineer?

Answer 1

They never finish school. No matter how smart they are they can't work on every development. So that leaves them with a degree of ignorance. No offense intended.
Others may become rich from your work while you make a very good wage. If you look you will see investors holding to your coattail. That gets very negative.

Answer 2

Curly stated it well above Out sourcing is taking away the engineering jobs within the USA. You may need to travel to get a job or to maintain a job within your field.
I obtained a BSEE, spent 29 years in the industry as an analog engineer, filter and IC designs, then logic engineer, then as a programmer (obtained MCIS), then thermal and packaging engineer, then lead engineer on projects, then as a field support engineer only to be forced into early retirement. You have to constantly maintain your education. The career was rewarding, patents, challenging and stressful especially if you have bad management. There are and will always be great problems that need to be solved.

Answer 3

The definitions are imprecise and could remember on the school and the enterprise. To me, there isn't any such component as electronics engineer. i'm an electric powered engineer, and maximum all of my artwork has been with electronics. Any enterprise i've got worked with in ordinary terms has a sort of "electric powered engineer". .

Answer 4

As an engineer you are classified as a technical man. Your place is in production, design, construction, operation and the like. In an organisation, managers are needed to look at the business as a whole; therefore, if you are an engineer, you can not be at the upper echelon in an organisation unless you take up some business courses.

Answer 5

from the point of view of an electrical engineer..the only negative thing on this profession is its health and safety hazard especially when you are working on high risk areas and isolated fields.. yet some fields may be in this situation , too..

Answer 6

math.

These guys are the engineers who are closest to mathematicians. They have to traverse the highest levels of math of all engineers. They need to be highly fluent in pde's, fourier methods, laplace methods, and require a high degree of conceptual problem solving.

The two lowest capital cost systems to engineer are computer software and electrical circiuits. Because the industries associated with them need to make a lot of volume, they have been known to outsource or offshore both computer science and more consumer electrical engineering to places where the mean wage is a tenth of what it is in the US.

Answer 7

electrical/electronic engineer is a man of wondering. from the start you are dealing and solving things that you can not see. its interesting but more on imagination.

Answer 8

Part of the problem is that technology will pass you by very quickly, and you cannot do it all, well, so you have to find your niche and learn it well. There are so many chips coming out, that there is no way to keep up. So stay current with the ones you can in your field.

Plus, you get tired of the girls chasing you all the time. It does get old...

Answer 9

Lots of positives, but since you asked about negatives I would have to say the biggest negative is very high stress at times.

Answer 10

This may come as a SHOCK to you, but you will need to be the following:

- CONDUCT yourself well
- may not join any radical RESISTANCE movements
- you cannot OHM and ahh about things
- must stay up with CURRENT events
