For a research project, I have several pieces of equipment mounted on top of a large metal rotating circular surface. At the moment, all equipment is battery powered. I would like to come up with an inexpensive way of getting DC power and signal wires to a computer off the surface to analyze data in real time. Besides that constraint, going down thru the center isn't really an option since the rotating shaft is solid metal.

Electrical Engineering Jobs. My wife, who has a master's degree in electrical engineering, has recently moved to the US and is looking for a job in high tech, specifically, doing circuit design or FPGA. What are the best places on the web to look for listings of such jobs? If it matters, we're in Colorado.

I'm 24, I've been kicked out of college twice, and I want a degree that will be a good springboard for going into the guitar effects/amplification field. Also, a >$40k salary starting out would be nice. Is electrical engineering the right fit for what I'm looking for?

I’m tasked with writing an article about a new "mechatronics" device. I have an engineering degree and understand the device and its benefits. I’m having trouble with the “mechatronics” part since I have not actually worked as a development engineer. I’m hoping that some practicing engineers can shed some light on how EEs, MEs and control systems engineers work together.

Does anyone have recommendations for graduate electrical engineering programs in northeast Massachusetts or southern NH? They would need to be night/weekend based and if there are online classes available that would be even better (but at a brick & mortar, legitimate universities).
