Actually, the electrical engineers that I’ve worked with didn’t know how to solder. They had technicians to do that.
OTOH, I, a physicist, used to be a certified NASA solderer.
That was in the days before surface mount.
- WalterBright 5y agoAll the EEs of my generation knew how to solder. Interestingly, no electrician I've used knew what inductive coupling was. :-(
- wrycoder 5y agoWell, I’m about fifteen years older than you are. You must have worked with a different class of EEs. The one I knew weren’t hams and probably didn’t grow up building kits and stuff like we did. Inductive coupling is one of the most fascinating topics in EM. And, is all the power really flowing in the air between the wires? The electricians don’t know that, either.
- analog31 5y agoI'm a physicist too. The electrical engineers at my workplace know how to solder. However, if someone needs a noise budget, they bring it to me. I'm the one who teaches the chemists to solder. ;-)
