re: Engineering Shortage : Myth or Fact

I have done an internship but it was more computational physics based work.
I have not really interned at a company.

Really. Then I have nothing to worry about. Thank you.

Theres no labor shortage. It's a myth perpetrated by politicians and their donors who are on the demand side of the labor market.
What they mean is a labor shortage (in any particular field) at a certain price. If you raise the quality of the workplace, benefits, pay, etc then you no longer have a shortage because more people will go into that field.

Again, I made corrections to the original post. My verbal skills are very adept. You don't really know me.

Thank you. This is one of the best explanations I've heard on this post

Some people are unhireable.
And don't expect a 2.1 to get you in with Shell or XOM.
And some degrees are harder and thus more valuable. Sorry, IE's.

So I assume my odds are still slim if I went and got IE degree.
But generally speaking what about biomedical, nanosystems, and Industrial.

How good are you at understanding the Fourier series and LaPlace transforms?
Cuz you're going to need it with nanosystems.

With my Physics background I am more familiar with Fourier series. I do Remember studying Laplace Transforms but I'm rusty on that one.
In my graduate classes, I tend to see more Fourier series being used with Laplacian techniques more utilized for certain explanations. I can do both effectively given proper review of the the material.
However, Nanosystems and Biomedical seem too theoretical, similar to Physics in certain adpects. Most who I know got these degrees have graduate or other professional degrees.

Are you more practical or a theorist? You spoke about EE in yesterdays thread. There are mechanics positions open around the country with an EE required. High end medical equipment must be repaired, re-calibrated, and maintained.
Most of these jobs start around 70 and require domestic travel, hence the dreaded airport time.
I do not know if they require experience.

I am a more pratical person in general. And medical device companies like IBA would be right up my alley.
However, most don't realize that internships like most things are a very competitive process with LIMITED slots available.
Even good candidates can be denied based on superfluous conditions. I am still trying for next year or possibly during my last semester, but it's just difficult.
As for biomed and nanosystems , I was trying to see if it was primarily a degree needing graduate study.

I get how an exchanger works, but I am still amazed the two streams enter, mix, and then separate back out after the heat transfer.
Yep.
I'm not amazed an engineer made that statement.

Not all engineering degrees have the same level of demand in the marketplace. Surely if you are a graduate student you realized this long ago.

Yep.
If this ChemE was actually awarded a degree, the school that granted it should immediately lose accreditation

There's a shortage of experienced people on the market. The good people with 15-20 years can almost go where they want.
There's an endless supply of straight out of college types though.

Define, shitty graduates? You mean they're shitty sloppy people? Zero personalities? Lack of intelligence? Care to elaborate?
All of the above but primarily I mean people who used test banks, didn't pay attention in class that will perform poorly in the workplace.
Most of the sought after companies won't even talk to those below a 3.0 and even at that level there's quite a bit of competition. The internships and other stuff is going to show who put forth some effort in school.
ETA: or be a girl and get any job you want.
