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.

    We make counter-terrorism products like robots and bomb suits. Our bomb suits include the most sophisticated wearable electronics suite ever produced and the next generation will have far more electronics…

    I'm also a retired EE.  I've done design at all levels - system, module, circuit board, semiconductor devices (analog, digital, programmable, ASIC).  I started my career doing tsunami detection research at a university, transitioned into aerospace designing guidance systems, and ended my career designing and testing custom ASICs for a semiconductor tester manufacturer.  I enjoy both the hardware and software aspects of engineering and am looking forward to using AI for data analysis.

    I work for an engineering services company that mainly provides services in the consumer electronics and entertainment sectors. I'm currently working on a couple of different (but related) projects involving immersive audio spatialization.

    I started in digital electronics but slid into software. My last job before I retired was heading up the Computer Department in a large Hospital.

     

    Now a hobbyist, Still much better at software than hardware image

    Definitely had to go 'other' on this one - working as a high voltage test engineer in the utilities / power generation sector.

     

    Kind regards

    Hi Garret,

     

    If you have specific questions I can help you within the limitations of the NDA I signed.

    As a hobbyist who works in different areas (wearables, IoT, agriculture) which are not part of my work, maybe this poll is not for me image
