Eeek! I used EMACS until I realized that vi was always available on any UNIX system (vi, vim, gvim, etc.) and I kept getting "assigned" sysadmin duties on every friggin UNIX-like system STK Printer Ops acquired, and needed an editor upon which I could always rely. I still have that yellow comb-bound EMACS book somewhere. Using EMACS gave me my first exposure to the Gnu Public License. Dang. For an EE/Physics major, entering into the UNIX/HPUX/VMS/SunOS/Solaris world where people actually *argued* about using EMACS or vi or ed was kind of like entering Oz. I scurried back to my electrons and holes as quickly as I was able. LOL.

If your boss is not paying for it... It's expensive.
2 to 3 years to complete, on average.
Say 50,000USD total cost, on average... and up... for many good US schools.
Georgia Tech is... about the lowest cost... 10,000USD total cost.
Everyone is different... but IMO... the average person... depending on which specialty they want... needs to have a strong background in
calculus... as in vector, complex, and differential equations... linear algebra... numerical methods... statistics.
Computer science skills are required too.
Programming in Python or C
Simulations in software packages like Pspice
HDL like Verilog, or VHDL
Not to mention a strong background in
circuit analysis
devices
probably other stuff I forgot too.
