Please read my thread for a little background info if you want:

I’m an EE, and I’m sort of lost on what I should take…
Basically I have several options as to what to specialize in.

I have to take 3 of these courses

Microprocessor Systems & Interfacing, 4 credits

Semiconductor Devices, 3 credits <– Taking this now

Electromechanical Motion Devices - 3 credits

Feedback System Analysis and Design - 3 credits

Digital Signal Processing with Applications - 4 credits

Transmission of Information - 4 credits

Out of these courses I am leaning towards electromechanical motion devices & microprocessor systems & interfacing, or feedback system analysis and design.

I’m not sure which of these is the best option. I am leaning towards either the microelectronics/nanotechnology field, or energy sources and systems field.

Honestly I’m leaning more towards the power industry because I don’t think I’d be competent for nanotechnology/microelectronics - just my opinion.

Also, does anyone have any info on the aforementioned fields? Info such as job prospects, typical jobs encountered in said fields, experience required, etc.

Greatly appreciated, thanks
