grover posted:Every promotion just makes it worse and worse. Yup. All the higher-ups, who may have once been engineers, are now completely detached from any technical activities and do nothing but project management and dreadfully boring regulatory compliance type stuff. As someone deeply interested in the sciences, I just can't bare the thought of losing my technical edge.

Mr Crumbbley posted:Well I just switched my major to Energy Engineering, so any one here have experience with it? It sounds interesting, but I don't know much about it. I switched to it because I couldn't get into Civil Engineering. I don't like that I'll have to be doing way more Chemistry and Thermo, but I guess that's the way it's gonna be. Why would you switch to something that you don't know much about? Does Energy Engineering put you on a particular career path? If the answer is "no" or "I don't know", then why are you taking it?

Zo posted:Like you said, BME just doesn't have enough cross-disciplinary skills to be considered for a lot of jobs. We only had a biomechanics option for the ME kids, no dedicated program. Argh. Its not how many jobs can I get with degree X, its does degee X help me get the job I want. When are engineers going to learn this.

My current job title is "System Developer" and I'm having trouble summarizing this role on my resume (I'm looking to leave my current job as I'm not particularly happy with the current work environment). It's a very over-arching role that involves having knowledge of pretty much all the bits and pieces of the product, and importantly, the underlying theoretical basis of its operation. In a day to day sense I've been involved in tasks as low-level as embedded programming and board layouts to high-level work like writing design specs, developing algorithms, and data analyses. I'm struggling with finding succinct, impactful wording to describe this role. Does anyone else with a similar such role have some clever wording they've used? (oh, and since this in the engineering thread, I'm an electrical engineer)

I can't actually use the "engineer" term as I don't have my P.Eng. (engineer is a protected title here)

Thoguh posted:If that's the case the 'System Developer' title might already be your best bet. It's not the title I'm concerned about, but rather how to describe the responsibilities succinctly on a resume.
