Are Electrical Engineers Happy?

“I would advise anyone entering college to definitely NOT study to become an Electrical or Computer Engineer… I sacrificed too much of my personal life for my profession and I now very much regret it. You lose valuable experiences with your family and your employer doesn't appreciate any sacrifice you make for your job or the company.” 

– an online post in response to the article

• EE Times Poll: 13% of engineers completely content with job 

• Gallup Poll: 48% of Americans completely satisfied with job

• Engineers nearly 4X less likely than average American to be completely satisfied with job

Fall Action Items• Action item: Continue working with Math department to get mathematics courses for engineering students taught by regular faculty (not TAs).– Status: ECE submitted a formal memo to the Math department, suggesting that for each course in the calculus sequence they offer one large lecture section (about 60) exclusively for ECE students taught by one of their gifted professors. The Department Head was extremely receptive, but the idea hasn’t yet been implemented. We will report back next semester.

• Action item: Leverage existing strengths in systems engineering to build new partnerships. – Status: Drawing on successes of systems engineering to develop a new distance education program. Curriculum will be compatible with systems distance program.

• Action item: Host seminar series and use as a marketing tool to increase industry interest and awareness of ECE’s research work.– Status: ISTeC seminars publicized to IAB. CREW series launched.
