paddle shifters for automatic solved

well, i think you should have been the one to do it then...the point is i was pulling from another post that ask how to do it...

i may not have the best information, considering im new with it, but i did get it done 

its not what you can/will do, but what you have done.

You sure did get it done.

You are alot like me.

I love a challange.

I see, I thought you were the original poster of that thread reporting back, I didn't realize you were just trying to solve it.

However, technically you didn't solve the question, if I remember right, because the original poster wanted to use all relays!!!  I would much rather use a system like you posted (or other chip based system) over relays any day.

KPierson,

are you a electronic engineer? if so please help...

I have a question concerning my next career progression options...

Im in the US Army by the way

i recently went to the DOD Medical Maintenance Repair Course which was 10 months of electrical tech. troubleshooting, both theoreticly and hands on. This course allows me to have 70 Semester Hours of College almost anywhere and i plan to use it. 

Should i get a Bachelor's Electrical Engineer or

a Bachelor's Electrical and Computer Engineer Degree...Please explain.

I also plan to progress to Master's Degree of the same field

i just dont want to get headed in the wrong direction.

It all depends on what you want to do.  My degree is in electronics and computer technology, not engineering.  At the present moment I am an electronic field technician in the oil industry.  I've personally always been a hands on type of person so an engineering  degree wasn't a good fit for me.

However, having the computer programming aspect of my education enabled me to start my own business.  Every product we sell is based around programming, and would have been much more difficult had I not been introduced to the programming side of stuff in college.

If I were in your shoes (which I'm not, so its hard for me to give you advice) I would go with the electrical and computer engineering option.  This post is an example why.  An electrical engineer can design a circuit to acomplish a specified goal using X amount of chips.  A electronics and computer guy can design and build the same circuit using one custom programmed chip, and at the end of the day will most likely have more features, be more reliable, and be cheaper and easyier to manufacture.

For what its worth, one of the guys I work with in the field got his electronics training in the US Army.  He has no formal college education at all, just his military background.  Its definately a good place to start.

I was in the US Air Force.

Avionics Systems Specialist. Navigations, Communications, Electronic Warfare, Ect.

I worked on the Electronics on F15 Fighters. Troubleshooting The systems in the Aircraft.

But, I don't claim to know more than anyone else. I have experience troubleshooting but not Engineering.

You know the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom?

Knowledge is knowing how to do something .You learn thru study and education.

Wisdom is knowing what not to do with the Knowledge. You gain wisdom from your misteaks and you go beyond Knowledge into being wise.
