Electrical Engineering jobs that I can do?

Question

I am one class away from getting my BS in Electrical and Computer engineering. I have had classes in Electrical Energy Conversion, Electromagnetic Fields and I have mastered the basic of balanced three-phase circuits. I would really like to work in a company that deals with power distribution, or one that is concerned with motors and generators. How do you guys think I should go about getting a job that deals with the aboves. I took a year off from school, and I don't know if I can get an internship. I would like the help of other Electrical engineers to help me get a lead. Although power distribution interests me, I really do not have much experience about the practical side of it. It does seem like a bit complicated for an undergrad to work in that kind of industry.

Good luck. I too have a Bachelor of Electrical Engineer degree. My senior design project was in power.



I still can't get job interviews. We majored in the wrong field. It doesn't make sense. The employers told me to get an engineering degree then they will talk to me.



I vividly remember one place. I'll call them NASA in Cleveland. I spoke to the HR person there. He had a deep accent, like one of those reggae singers. At the time I had an Associates in Electronic Technology degree. He said they only hire bachelor degreed people. So I went back to college and worked hard and earned my Bachelors degree--fair and square, no cheating like other students did.



And guess what his song and dance now was? He talked just like all of the private companies. "Uh, you need to go work somewhere else and get some experience before we will talk to you." They lie. It's all a scam.



But if you still want to try, the electrical power companies like to see that you are working towards getting the Professional Engineer Cert from your state. That will help you with jobs that deal with the infrastructure--I hope.



I also applied with the power companies here in Ohio. They wouldn't even talk to me at all!! I don't understand it because I have the degree they say you need.



So good luck.



I'm switching careers now. I'm going to buy a video camera and make movies. Most people frown upon it but these are the same people that have lied to me. The same people that probably are closest pervs anyway--devious sneaky people--and I'll be making money off of some of them.

So you are basically a power engineer. You can apply for utility companies in your area, power companies that sell energy to the utility companies or go for companies that deal with large machinery since they use high voltages and high power loads.



At work, you'll be working under the supervision of some PE (professional engineer). They know your skills are limited since you just graduated so they won't ask you to do something you don't know or you could not be able to finish (unless you lied in your resume, happens a lot).



With that being said, I would recommend going to the EE department and talking to some of the professors to know some of the companies that have hired some of their graduates before. If you are only one class away from graduation, look for an internship starting now. Go to the utility companies' websites and look for positions. The more experience you have, the better chances you have to find a job.



Good luck.
