What is the difference between engineering and engineering technician?
I was looking at college majors and one said engineering general and another said engineering technician. What is the difference?

Question answered by Bobbys_life
I work for one of the World's largest EPC Companies. We have both Engineers and Field Engineers. Most of what the others have said is true and some sound more like pencil pushers tooting their little horns. As for my Company the Field Engineer is considered the client to Engineering, basically their designing for the FE to install, start-up and operate. The intent is a high quality design that fits and works first time, obviously much to some of their surprise, Engineers are also human and errors in design are common I'm a Lead Field Engineer,,, Obviously, I work in the field, this is where it all comes together. Technically, I'm the Engineer in the field. I oversee the installation of varies systems and at times I've had +250 people working directly for me. My responsibilities varies from spending countless hours on the phone with Engineers reviewing their design, interpreting design (the 2D to 3D transition can sometimes be very screwy, for some reason Engineers seem to have a hard time with this, the "Paper to Reality Paradox"), resolving conflicts between design disciplines (for some reason these Engineers seat across from one another and don't even speak), issue design changes (the Engineering Dah Factor), perform constructability reviews, manage manhours, deal with labor issues, schedule issues, weather, system start-up, vendors, so on so forth. As for pay,,, I fall pretty much inline with the Engineers, some make more others make less. It all depends on years of service. There's several factors you need to look at 1. What type of person are you? Hands on or off? I'm a hands on guy, I want to be in the field where it all comes together, I'll let the offices guys do all the calcs, Cad, and paper stuff (boring if you ask me) 2. The Company you work for definitely has a bearing on your pay. Some value the field guys, some value the Engineer and others value both. 3. Depends on you,,,what type of person are you? A go getter done type, a follower, a hider or just plain lost. Trust me this has a major impact on your future, you can either ride the system and acheive the minimal or take the system by the hand and twist it for max. Now the choice is totally up to you.... Which path to take. Engineering definitely more indepth studies and beleive me I've met some great Engineers, guys who really know their stuff and design what was thought to be impossible. Future problem... Outsourceing,, more and more companies are outsourcing their engineering to India, China, etc. Tech Engineer, allot less indepth study, more of a broader range of abilities when it comes to the hands on installation. I've worked with some of the best in this field. And we have built the impossible designs. Definitely can't outsource this job if built in the US. Good LuckWhat field of study would software engineer be in?
I'm almost done with my sophomore year, so I really need to look at colleges more seriously now. I've been researching colleges for a long time but I don't know the exact field of study that Software Engineering is in. Would it be in Computer Engineering? General Engineering? Something else? Please help. And if anybody has any tips on how I should prepare for these colleges courses or anything else, please tell me. Thank you for your help.

Question answered by Devin
Many colleges don't have a specific software engineering major. Instead you would do computer engineering or computer science. Computer engineering is more physics based and has more hardware while computer science is more abstract and software based. Either would be good for a software engineering job. Some schools have an actual software engineering major. In general, you should take lots of math and science. You should also start learning some programming. Java or Python might be a good place to start. Good programming takes time and practice to develop. If you start now, you will have a great advantage once you start college. Programming is required for all engineers and many other technical careers, so if you change your mind between now and college, it will still be a good skill to have. Use a book or tutorial to get you off the ground, but as soon as you can do some basic stuff, start doing some projects (anything you find interesting). Programming can be really fun, so if you are working through a book or project and it becomes really boring, just stop and find a different way to practice.Would getting a minor in Materials engineering be a good mix to take along my civil engineering major?
This is my 3rd year at cal poly majoring in Civil Engineering (general option) and I was thinking of minoring in materials engineering. I want to eventually major in structure engineering but don't know if this is the next best thing in terms of recruitment at engineering firms. Is this a good step? Any idea if the minor will help me set foot at the door at engineering firms right after graduation?

Here is a listing of the average starting & mid-career salaries for most 4 year majors. Note that these stats only apply to people who actually got a job in their field. Many graduates in the lower half of the list never get a job in their field & are not counted. The higher they pay, the harder the major & generally the more math they require. Just be aware that high pay does not mean high demand. http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/degrees.asp http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview5.asp?next=oview5&Level=BAplus&optstatus=&jobfam=&id=1&nodeid=7&soccode=&stfips=00&ShowAll= The Highest Starting Salaries of 2010 http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/career-articles-the_highest_starting_salaries_of_2010-1296 Most in demand degrees: http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview2.asp?next=oview2&Level=BAplus&optstatus=101000000&jobfam=&id=1&nodeid=4&soccode=&stfips=00&ShowAll=no Hot Jobs 2011 http://career-advice.monster.ca/job-hunt-strategy/company-industry-research/great-careers-for-the-new-year/article.aspx?WT.mc_n=Ycanada_YToday Look here to find the job prospects for most all occupations in the USA. http://www.bls.gov/oco/oco2003.htmDo these officers or enlisted in the navy get deployed?
People like engineers(general, electrical, civil), computer technician, you know people who are really tech guys than sailors, will they get deployed. If yes, will they be in combat? Enlisted and officers What about the air force?

Yes and Yes. You will deploy if your in the Navy. That is what the Navy does. The "tech" guys are the ones who operate our submarines, destroyers, aircraft carriers, weapons systems, ect. You will deploy. Officer and Enlisted alike.where can i find engineering drawings and GAs?
Hi, I am a Design Engineering student from the UK and I am looking for Engineering / General arrangement and component drawings of machines and/or mechanisms to base a CAD assembly model on for our SolidWorks module. Ideally I am trying to locate a database so I may pick something appropriate but any information would be greatfully recieved. I need full measurements and dimensions if possible. Thank you in advance.

I've been looking into mechanical engineering. Ive heard that engineers travel sometimes but I want to know how far. I mean, I don't want to have to travel to another country or have to fly to a certain place just for work. Do mechanical engineers or engineers in general have to travel by plane to work?

No firm answer can be offered as you may or may not have to travel. for quite a long period of my long experience I had to attend three or four sites every day. To me that was better than sitting in an office for a whole working day.Is it possible to become a P.hD in Biomedical Engineering or Engineering in general?
