I did Chem E for 3 years at LSU, has a summer internship and hated it. Switched to Civil and am very happy with the decision (even though I lost 45 credit hours in the process 
).

I hope I get to that point in the future. I'm just a farm hand who happened to be able to swing the grades to an engineering degree.
ETA- this went further than I thought it would.

Electrical Engineer I do a mix of support, fpga development, software development, and testing.
I work for a small company so you gotta wear multiple hats.

The beauty of this degree is if you hate your job, there are lots of available jobs in completely unrelated fields that you can try out.

Taking PE in October
Posted on 5/2/14 at 8:50 am to marchballer
Civil PE here. PE definitely payed off for me in the $ department.
That being said, I still wish I would have taken up my friends on all the opportunities they offered me to come work for Baker Hughes as a field engineer for a few years and then transition to technical sales or MWD/LWD as they are in the $$$ and I'm only in the $$.
Can't complain as I didn't major in one of the many worthless degrees out there that all these whiny bitches are complaining about not being able to get jobs etc.

No, you just have to have a minimum of 4yrs of qualified experience working under the supervision of a licensed engineer. There is no upper limit.
actually you dont have to work under a licensed engineer. The lapels rules say you Should not shall. Trust me i have a teacher who is on the board and he reminds us of this all the time. I think there are some other requirements to be met though if you dont work under one. The info is on the Lapels site.
BTW checking in here. I graduate in 1 week and start my new job as a project engineer on the 12th.

My senior design presentation was today. I drank tons of beer. The Lord is great indeed.
mine was yesterday and was embarrassing. My partner didnt know shite and I set him up to fail. I felt bad but I was pissed because he did not do a damn thing the whole semester. Not one calulation, not one report nothing and then i asked him to do the final power point and he shows up 2 hours before the presentation and says he has to leave and get a hair cut and oh yea I didn't do the powerpoint. Now the mother fricker isnt graduating
its sad i am happy he failed but i have been feeling like this since I assigned him the the concrete batch mix, gave him a sample of how to do it, and then he still couldn't finish it.
So I ask the OT am I a bitch for setting him up to fail? or did he get what he deserved?

Hey I know you, and yes JL doesn't deserve to be an engineer.

Lol, he got what he deserved. We had a guy like that in my design class. He didn't do anything so we just started leaving him out of everything. Then when he realized we were setting him up for the same thing, he stole a major part we ordered that was delivered to the engineering office and held it hostage til he could find time to be apart of the team. Held us hostage for almost a week and a half. Finally got the professor involved and he got removed from our team.

good not going to lie, i kind of felt like a douche about only doind a 7 slide powerpoint. But I didnt need it and every time we have a presentation, he shows up 5 min before beggin to know what he needs to say.
the prof. was yelling at him afterwards saying "I'm not your friend or buddy, so dont act like I am"; "Im not sure you even understand what the project is about" and my favorite "it was so terrible that I wanted to blow my brains out"

That is all.
Well I'm in short and a tee shirt and flip flops today working out of my home office. With 2/3 of the engineering group in India, manufacturing in Mexico and China, it doesn't really matter where I'm at. Heck I spent a day working on Auburn's campus while saving a tailgate spot thanks to the miracle that is tethering

Still in scjool. Three years to go
Posted on 5/2/14 at 11:08 am to jimbeam
I am still surviving half of my classes because of the curve. Talking to my uncle, who was an EE in the early 90s, they curved almost all classes back then too. My grandpa said in the 50s, there wasn't any curving of grades though
