Need Advice on Electrical Engineering Concentration

What do you think would be better between power and dsp/telecommunication in terms of job opportunities, future career etc.

I think either DSP or Telecoms would be better than Power.</p>

<p>

I have heard that I have to be good at programming (specially in C++ and matlab) to do well in dsp. Is that true?

Yes. Compared to most EE specialties, DSP dives DEEP into the software side, and you need to be pretty solid in programming if you want to excel in the field.</p>

When I searched for internships or when i went to the career fairs, I didnt see anyone hiring DSP engineers. May be I missed. Do you know what type of companies/industries hires dsp engineers?

Any industries dealing with signals - telecommunications and remote sensing are the biggest users.</p>
