Joe Posted July 18, 2010 Share #11 Posted July 18, 2010 Is an EE degree required for helpers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCTSignals Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted July 18, 2010 no i dont think so, i do not have a degree. You just need some type of electrical or electronic background experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 18, 2010 Share #13 Posted July 18, 2010 Ah, that's what I thought. I assume they expect you to be able to read the signal drawing typicals? I find that NYCT drawings are much easier to read than the standard AAR way of drawing signal diagrams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
