While grades may be important to some extent, I suspect at least if not more important will be to show how much original research you can do. Recommendation letters are especially important at this stage so try to work closely with some of your current faculty if at all possible. Show them that you are really interested. \n\nWhen you apply to other schools, make sure that you have read up on the faculty in those departments very carefully so you can show why you are an extremely good fit for their program.

Grad courses is a great idea. Is there a college nearby you that offers them?

I'm in Electrical, and the joke around Eng is "if you wanted to get rich you should be in business, not engineering.\n\nBut you know, if you think about it, in engineering school the  brains and technical creativity is astounding. If  someone could harness all of this potential, they would indeed be a wealthy individual.\n\nAs it is though, just getting an 'ordinary' engineering job will leave you living comfortably. It is a profession afte all.\n\nGood luck.

how about getting a REAL engineering degree. you'll be much better off.\n\nhey asswhopper\n\nyeah i am jealous, i have a BSME from one of the top 5 eng. schools in the nation.  your associates just blows me out of the water.

You're only in your second year! Take some time to figure out what you want to be. If you would like to join the research, academic, and industrial track by working for a university, an engineering firm, or a large corporation where you are needed for the application of your engineering expertise, then the MS in ECE would be what you want. Starting salaries for MS grads in ECE can be really nice and plump in some markets in the US, and if you work long enough, you can expect a six-figure income. However, if you'd like to go into marketing, sales, or managerial positions within engineering instead, or open your own firm in the future, the the MBA might be the way to go.\n\nYou're only a sophomore--attend more career sessions, get internships, gain more exposure. You still have time to decide! Or even better--do your MS in ECE, then follow it with a one-year MBA program somewhere--more power to you that way!

Not necessarily just electrical. I have friends taking a robotics course which is a mechanical engineering course. I believe it is dealing with things like factory automation.

If you are looking for a bachelors degree: my advice is if you think you want to get into mech eng. then just do it. You can always switch to another field for your masters.\n\nWhat I did was opt for Physics because it offers a science base -- in case you want to change majors/fields in the future. \n\nAnd frankly, I never regretted choosing Physics (at IIT, Chicago).\n\nbut whichever field you choose, never lose sight of your goals and interests. You likely are unaware of these right now (if just starting college) so just find the place that feels right for the time - -you can even switch-up in a year and choose Physics, or electrical, or hell, even Architecture (I would have liked architecture -- but it's not a regret. I have a great appreciation for it having been a Physics student).

Electrical/Computer engineering does.

Here you go...\n\nhttp://www.library.tuiasi.ro/ipm/vol12no34/mechanical.htm\n\nPS: Endless Opp. Career is " POWER ENGINEERING "\nElectrical Engineering or Power Engineering are the carreers you want to get in to... Look at it this way... No POWER.... No anything else... \n\nTake care.

Thomas Edison State College is awesome! They are regionally accredited and they have excellent cheap tuition rates. They offer many different degree programs. Their website is www.tesc.edu .  The credits transfer everywhere and I am earning my master's degree now at a local university.

Try going to a tech school. Thats what they're designed for.

Pi is right.  I.T. is not really engineering.  \n\nI disagree with thatha when he said that the three you listed are one and the same.  They definitely are not.  Electrical engineers create the electronics that make the work of computer scientists, IT people, and communications engineers possible.  Further, communications engineers are also electrical engineers.  Computer science requires a deep knowledge of algorithms and programming, while IT only requires knowledge of the specs of the products that electrical engineers design.\n\nFrom your list, I would cross off I.T.  Your career will always be in support of what your company is actually creating...not what they are actually creating.  For this reason, companies tend to be frugal when it comes to I.T.  \n\nElectronics, computer science, and communications all overlap somewhat, but can be very different from one another.  If you start out as an electrical engineering major you can find out what you like after some classes.  You may find you hate programming, and love circuits, or vice versa.  If you're interested in both, you might try computer engineering.  You won't get a good feel for communications until your last few semesters as an electrical engineering major, if you stick with it.\n\nBut aside from your list, there are many other areas of engineering, I just assumed you had narrowed your interest down to those three.  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

I don't know of a school that offers electronic engineering, but if you want a degree in electric engineering you'll have to take physics, calculus, computer science, more physics, and even more computer science.

One of my ex-boyfriends went to a community college and got an Associates degree in something or another electrical.  When you're done with that, you have to study to take a test.  Once you pass it, you can get hired on with a company either directly or as an apprentice.

u mean graduate school like masters school??wat about it>> specific major?? wt state??

I would suggest staying in the electrical field, if you're not familiar with IT work. They're two completely different fields. Unless you plan on doing the very complex work on motherboards, most electrical stuff you may already know would be pretty useless.\n\nHowever, if you really ARE interested in IT, I suggest you try taking the A++ tests. These are the tests used to basically show that you know what you're doing, and you'll become certified if you pass. They're tricky tests, however. I tried taking them, myself, and didn't do to hot. It takes a LOT of studying, and memorizing lots of numbers.

I consulted the Occupational Outlook for an answer for you. Every year the US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes print and electronic versions of the\nOccupational Outlook Handbook. They also have some other periodic publications that spotlight certain career areas or issues.\nThey  have a section that covers engineering as a whole, and breaks it down into types including electrical. \nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm\n>According to them: Employment of electrical engineers is expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2014\nThey further define "about as fast as the average" as an "Increase 9 to 17 percent". <\n\nGetting this information now is a really great idea!\nVisit various job job boards -- especially those that are engineering related. \nFor example, I found a site specializing in EE jobs Electrical Engineering Central. ( http://www.engcen.com/electrical.htm )\nAnother specialty sites is Electrical Engineer (part of CareerMarketplace Network.com)http://www.electricalengineer.com\nYou can not only get a feel for the job market -- you can see which specialty skills are in demand! \n\nHave you considered membership in IEEE? (I am not a member but do believe in professional organizations as they have helped me). They have student membership:\nhttp://www.ieee.org/web/membership/qualifications/qualifications.html#Student%20Member\nIf you get a membership, you can access their job boards.
