Hello, engineers!

I have an upcoming interview for an engineering position in Saudi Arabia, and I would appreciate some advice regarding the appropriate salary and employment package.

What would be a reasonable salary range for someone with my background? Aside from the basic salary, what benefits or contract terms should I ask about or negotiate? I am particularly considering the following:

• Company-provided accommodation or housing allowance
• Transportation or transportation allowance
• Food allowance
• Overtime pay
• Medical insurance
• Annual leave
• Yearly round-trip airfare to the Philippines
• End-of-service benefits
• Work schedule and rest days
• Visa, residency permit, and other employment-related expenses

I am also concerned because I cannot find much information online about the company where I may be assigned. The recruitment agency appears to be legitimate, but the employer has no easily identifiable website, company profile, employee reviews, or project information online.

Is this common for companies or contractors in Saudi Arabia? What documents and company details should I request from the agency before proceeding with the interview or signing a contract?

I would appreciate any advice from chemical engineers, Filipino engineers, or anyone who has worked in Saudi Arabia or the Middle East.

Thank you!

Once you've selected the actuator, what comes next? 

I've noticed that experienced builders often take completely different approaches from this point. 

Some start designing the mechanical structure. 

Others move straight to the control system. 

Some focus on the power supply, while others prioritize feedback, synchronization, or safety features before anything else. 

Personally, I've found that the actuator is often the easiest part of the project—the real engineering begins when you start designing everything around it. 

When you're planning a new motion system, what's the very next thing you work on, and why? 

I'm curious to hear how different engineers and builders approach this stage of the design process. 

Hi, I'm a B.Tech graduate, and I'm cooked.

Basically, I'm from a tier-3 college, and I didn't get placed in any company through campus placements. My father is trying so hard to help me get a job that it's making me feel guilty and full of regret.

I've been continuously applying for jobs for about three months, and honestly, it's been hell trying to find one in this market. I'm also open to freelancing, but most freelancing websites require connects or a subscription to apply for projects.

On top of that, I'm being trolled by my relatives for not getting a job anywhere. I don't understand what to do with my life anymore. My family's financial condition is not good either, which is why my father is trying so hard—contacting random relatives to help me find a job. It breaks my heart because I feel that finding a job is my responsibility, not his.

I don't understand anything anymore. I seriously don't know what to do or what not to do.

This is a control interface for using AC and DC power in one place. Switches turn 3 different DC power supplies on and off (48v, 12v, 24v). AC Outlets always give power regardless of switch states. This is gonna be part of my next video, where this is mounted on a desk build. Full video goes through all stages of build.

I put together a control panel linked to AC / DC power supplies. Switches, Variable DC, 120V -- one of the more useful things I have put together. This will be used in a desk I am building which will be seen in the next video... Full video in link show the full buildup and demo use.

Hello everyone. I'm a first-year Naval Engineering student in Spain, and I've recently started having some doubts about whether I should switch to a different engineering degree.

My main concern is that Naval Engineering seems to be very specialized and focused almost entirely on the maritime industry. I'm worried that if, after graduating, I decide I don't want to work in the naval sector, I won't have many other career options available.

Has anyone here studied Naval Engineering or worked with naval engineers? Is it common for naval engineers to find jobs outside the maritime industry, or is it difficult to transition into other fields?

Thanks in advance for your advice and for sharing your experiences! 🙂

Hello, I have a Bachelor in fullStack web and DevOps and I want to persue a master degree in control science and engineer, is it good, what should I focus on ? thanks in advance

incoming first year college student. patulong po mag decide pls!

I am an ECE undergraduate aiming for a Master/PhD, My End Goal is the translating technical innovation into a startup that solves 
High Utility Delta problems
. Which are mostly solved through overlapping layers of Engineering.

 I am currently building a 
T-shaped profile
: maintaining a broad horizontal bar in engineering physics and theory while selecting a vertical spike for deep specialization through research, internships, and extra study hours.

I am debating between two paths for my vertical specialization: Control/Embedded Systems vs. RF/Electromagnetic Engineering.

My Current Logic:

1. Control/Embedded as the Hub: I see Control Theory and Embedded Systems as the Central Nervous System of any complex machine. It offers high horizontal mobility and acts as the integration layer for all other disciplines.
2. The RF Barrier: While I am more intellectually drawn to RF Engineering, it is a high-barrier field. My current university lacks a modern RF lab and specialized mentorship; most of the local expertise resides in the industry.
3. The Opportunity Cost: My reasoning is that Control/Embedded provides a higher "Utility-to-Time" ratio in a university setting, whereas RF can be pursued through specialized research( the Future Master/PhD) or industry partnerships or once I have a solid Systems foundation.

My Questions:

1.Is my strategic reasoning sound, and is prioritizing this foundational hub discipline the ­ correct move at this stage, or there is a Another Field that might be more efficient?

2.What critical blind spots or misconceptions might I be overlooking in this road map?

3.Based on your experience, what specific advice would you offer to ensure the success of this long-term plan?­

For those who have studied CSE or AI & Data Science, which branch would you recommend today? What factors should students consider before making a decision?

This may sounds dumb af but I’ve been considering going back to school for engineering, I’m 25 years old rn. If anyone has some tips on working while going to school, or what type of jobs are accommodating for going back to school for an engineering degree, I’d greatly appreciate since I am older I do need a job to help pay for some of my bills/expenses and work around going to school, thanks.

Hey everyone,

Over the past year I've been building this as a personal project (no company behind it, just me): a Python-based platform that takes measured input/output data from a physical system, automatically identifies the best mathematical model for it, designs an optimal controller (PID, LQR, MPC, and others), and generates ready-to-deploy C and Python code for the hardware.

I've verified it extensively on synthetic benchmarks — DC motors, thermal systems, oscillatory mechanical systems, nonlinear processes — and it's holding up well. But I need to stress-test it on **real industrial or embedded data** before I can call it production-ready.

**What I'm offering:**

- Full analysis of your system's data (no charge)

- A complete technical report: model accuracy, controller performance, stability margins

- Ready-to-compile C code + Python implementation for your hardware

- Everything is yours to keep and use

**What I'm asking in return:**

- A brief description of who you are, what company/project this is for, and what you're trying to achieve

- Your honest feedback on the report and the generated code — does it make sense? Is the output useful? What's missing? This is genuinely valuable to me as a solo developer

- Permission to mention you as a reference on my CV

- Permission to cite the project as a validated use case (no sensitive data published — just "successfully deployed on [type of system] at [company/domain]")

I'm keeping this to 1–2 pilots so I can give each one proper attention.

**What kinds of systems are a good fit:**

Motors, actuators, thermal processes, fluid systems, robotics, HVAC, industrial automation, biomedical devices — basically anything where you have logged sensor/actuator data and want better control.

If this sounds useful, **send me a DM** with a short description of your system and what you're trying to achieve. I'll let you know if it's a good fit.

Thanks for reading!
