honestly I am interested in the supposed power grid revolution - more efficient transmission/generation/storage of energy. I’m also interested in solar power, but I know that’s mostly an R&D field right now.

in terms of nanotech, I’m just interested in all the possibilities for future technology, but I’m not sure if I will ever reach the caliber of engineer required for such a complex/difficult field.

I was also very interested in the controllers used in NASA for rockets and similar vehicles.

control theory seems somewhat interesting but more on the side of physical systems, not processes. physical systems such as cars, rockets, etc.

nothing else in EE really appeals to me - signals is very boring, control seems somewhat interesting but I know nothing of robotics so I would be SOL in terms of being competitive.

fields and optics does not interest me, and supposedly VLSI is very difficult, and it’s being outsourced a lot.
