Hi all,
I am a recent graduate in electrical engineering. I graduated about a year and half ago and I am interested in building ma career in the electrical and instrumentation field. I was wondering if i can get some guidance from you guys. I am currently working in an engineering company but dont have any engineering related position just yet. However there are lots of possibilities that i can be able to sink in the elec & instr field. Now, I am seeking for some guidance to build my career in this field. For those of you who are an engineer in this field how do u suggest I go by utilizing my education?
Thank you in advance!
Thank you in advance!

If you want to get into instrumentation and electrical, I would suggest you first get into one or the other. These two fields, although often lumped together, are quite large individually.
For someone who is starting out, I would recommend picking one, and stay with it for a few years, then going to the other.

Thank you for your response. Well, I actually had some difficulties in finding a job since i didnt have any experince as being a new grad. As I mentioned earlier I might have a good chance of joining the electrical and instru. group at ma present employer. That is why I want to prepare my self for the challenge that I will be facing once I joined them. The only problem is they dont really have much electrical application mostly instrumentation. Any more inputs?
Thanks again.

Instrumentation does interface with electrical - mostly on home run cables, powere to devices and in the cabinets. So, you may get some exposure to what electrical deals with on a job.
Like I said before, if you do go into instrumentation, do spend a few years there before moving on. This way, you will get a chance to learn things in some depth.

Also try to get free subscriptions of the following magazines if you still can:
Control Engineering
Automation world
Process Engineering
Evaluation Engineering etc.
These will help you explore where you want to be.
