Anyone an electromechanical engineer?

Is anyone here an electromechanical engineer? I think this is the field that I want to get into.

If there is anyone, what kind of projects do you get to work on? What's your usual day at work like? I would imagine that you'd get quite a bit of control over the project, is this true?

thanks,
brandon

Nobody can answer this for you. It really is all about you here. As you grow your interests might change. Then its time to sell someone on how your skills are valuable to the new field. Or go back to school.
I've done both.

If there is anyone, what kind of projects do you get to work on? What's your usual day at work like?

Who knows. What I work on now did not exist when I got out of school.
What your day will be like depends a lot on you.

I would imagine that you'd get quite a bit of control over the project, is this true?

Generally not. You will be told to do XYZ.
However, if you can show that BQR is a benefit, it proves to work and do this a few times you can get a fair amount of independence. Depends on if your boss is a control freak or not. If this is the case it's time to clean up your resume

Hello Brandon,

I am not an electromechanical engineer, but I can provide some information about the field. Electromechanical engineering is a specialized branch of engineering that combines principles of electrical and mechanical engineering to design, develop, and maintain electromechanical systems. These systems can range from simple household appliances to complex industrial machinery.

As for the projects that electromechanical engineers work on, it really depends on the industry and company they are employed in. Some may work on designing and developing new products, while others may focus on improving and maintaining existing systems. Common projects may include designing and implementing control systems, developing automation processes, or creating new technologies for renewable energy systems.

In terms of a typical day at work, it can vary depending on the specific role and responsibilities. Some may spend their time in the office, working on design and analysis tasks, while others may be out in the field overseeing the installation and testing of systems. It is also common for electromechanical engineers to work closely with other engineers and professionals, such as electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and project managers.

In terms of control over projects, it is true that electromechanical engineers often have a significant role in the design and development process. They are responsible for ensuring that the systems are functioning properly and meeting the required specifications. However, the level of control may also depend on the company and team dynamics.

I hope this information helps in your decision to pursue a career in electromechanical engineering. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
