Poll: Engineers Week (Feb 17-23, 2019): What Cool Things You Are doing in Your Engineering Career?

Founded in 1951, Engineers Week (February 17–23, 2019) is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.Today, EWeek is a formal coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and government agencies.

 

In honor of Engineers Week, I thought I'd start a discussion/poll on what cool things our Engineers are doing in their daily work lives.

 

So, if you want to contribute, please select the industry you are in, and then offer a brief comment on what you are doing.

    Just take it one step at a time.

    There is nothing wrong with lofty goals, just understand where you real opportunities can lead you.

    Am NOT AN ENGINEER YET!

    But When I will be an engineer I will be working in some R&D department of some super awesome IT company or boost my XeonAJ. https://www.google.com/search?q=xeonaj

    I wanna do something like PhD and become

    Dr.Alphons Jaimon (Quantum Computing Scientist) Sitting in my office developing Artificial Neural Networks in Quantum Computers for the advancement of Human Race!

    I know that's not easy but Ill try.

     

    I hope that's not too much.RIGHT!

    I am an Electrical & Electronic Engineer actively interested in everything I can get my hands on working as an Oil & Energy Professional worldwide, Trenching (burying cables and pipelines in the seabed to protect them from shipping traffic). I have been doing this for more than 20 years. When I am home in the Highlands of Scotland I like to repair things - anything really but  HiFi is my passion, vintage more so!

    Hi Gerrit,

     

    I got your email.

    I will take some time to look over the website and then discuss issues with the small company.

    I am working in education and I try to make young students get passioned by electrical engineering in general and by embedded systems in particular. The research part of my activity is now related to embedded systems with application in health, remote sensing and monitoring.

    I'm an independent electronic and software designer.

    Mostly I design small embedded systems using analogue, digital and software techniques. I use analogue chips and devices of pretty much every kind, FPGAs, microprocessors etc.

    Current or recent projects include,

    gas sensing, weighing cows, FPGA controlled data acquisition, DSP-on-ARM based accelerometer calibrator.
