The ECE field has many different technical areas of emphasis such as integrated circuit design, computer architecture, power engineering, signal processing and so on. Of all the possible ECE technical areas, which one interests you the most? Be specific and tell us how you originally became interested in a particular technical area. | The ECE field has many different technical areas of emphasis such as integrated circuit design, computer architecture, power engineering, signal processing and so on.

My long term career goals are to continue to develop my knowledge of embedded systems and their constituent technologies, both hardware and software. I anticipate working another twelve to fifteen years or longer. When leadership and architectural planning roles become available I want to have a deeper and broader knowledge I may bring to bear in those roles. I also want to prepare myself to apply for possible teaching roles. While I know that university level instructor positions are fiercely competitive I have long had interest in teaching, and have enjoyed giving training in previous job roles which I held. I would like to open this set of doors in addition to investing for the long term in being a stronger and more knowledgeable embedded engineer. | My long term career goals are to continue to develop my knowledge of embedded systems and their constituent technologies, both hardware and software.

Coming from career life, I have a better appreciation of learning opportunities, of when and how they arise and that they are often less common to find in work life than in school. School life provides learning in a full time sense, every week and every term. Work life can have periods of intense learning, but roles and projects often becomes more focused over time making it a challenge to keep abreast of technological trends and developments on ones own. | Coming from career life, I have a better appreciation of learning opportunities, of when and how they arise and that they are often less common to find in work life than in school.
