I have a couple of questions for everybody. I have a BS in ET and I did a senior project that included a research paper. Now of course I wasnt looking for publication just to graduate. Last week I registed for BS in CE and got accepted. They told they normally dont accept ET apps. but my GPA was high enough to save me…yeah!!! I plan on continuing with making advancements to my senior project and wait around my junior/senior yr to possibly publishing a paper.
BanjoHitter…when you mean “You’ll need to read the latest literature to determine what streams of literature are hot (what areas are of interest to current research) and where those streams are located”, are you talking about research papers from IEEE, BMES etc. or just books from the store/articles from the internet?
boneh3ad…I know you have an MS in ME and at first thats what I wanted to apply for so I could learn both sides of the field, electronics/mechanics. Do you think I should stay in CE and just try and find a relaible ME partner to hook up with?
