Hello to everyone,
my name is Ante. I am marine electrical engineer for the last 9 Years (before that one year as electrical engineer in technical office of high voltage switch gear factory). I have a Masters degree in electrical power engineering. I have a lot of experience in Cruise ships systems, from 75 MW power generation to automation system (hardware mostly) and PLC's - hardware and basic ladder diagram.
Since this is actually more electrician's job than electrical engineer's, I would like to start learning programming and working ashore within few years. But i do not have a clear image where to go and how to connect gathered practical electrical knowledge and programming.
I would be truly grateful for advice, if there is anybody with similar experience, transferring from power generation and hardware to programming job with direct application in electrical engineering.
I have extensive knowledge with generators, transformers, cycloconverters, VFDs, controls of electrical motors, application of PLCs, all type of sensors, elevators general electrical knowledge and installations, AUTOCAD electrical, but i do NOT have any experience in programming.
Is it possible to connect programming and gathered knowledge? And is it too late to start learning programming now? I am ready to spend as much time as needed. I am 39 now.
Thank You in advance for the help!
