Recent conversation with my advisor went like this:
Me: So I'm interested in a lot of areas and don't know what to specialize in
Advisor: Just do whatever appeals to you
Me: Ok, well I liked electronics and computer architecture, so I'm thinking about VLSI
Advisor: Oh, don't do that. Anything...
Hi! I'm just beginning my MSEE program and am planning to do a mix of the "Sensing and Information" track as well as the "Signal Processing and Communications" track at my university. I've narrowed my course possibilities down to 14 courses, but I'll only be able to take 8 or 9 of them. I don't...
Problem statement:
The E field measured just above a glass plate is equal to 2 V/m in magnitude and is direct at 45° away from the boundary, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the E field measured just below the boundary is equal to 3 V/m. Find the angle theta for the field in the glass...
Hi, I'm currently taking classes to catch me up to speed to do an EE masters program (did my undergrad in something unrelated, but already accepted to the MS EE) and I have a lot of freedom in choosing what courses I feel that I'll need to prepare myself. Is a course in probability something...
Thank you, that clarifies things a lot. Does this mean the resonant frequency for my nanoparticle colloid is just at the wavelength corresponding to the peak of its extinction spectrum? Also the extinction specta for my particles (5, 50, 100, 200nm) is moving toward smaller wavelengths as the...
I have a reference extinction spectrum (plain water) and an extinction spectrum for a colloid solution. How do I use these to get the absorption spectrum for the colloid? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Would someone please tell me what an extinction spectrum refers to? e.g. for plasmonic gold nanoparticles. Is it the same thing as reflection, absorption, or transmission spectrum? Something else?
How about this as preparation for an MS in signal processing and communications:
Spring 2015:
Elementary Modern Physics
Probability Theory in ECE
Electric Circuits
Engineering Computation
Summer 2015:
Introduction to Electronics
Introduction to Software Engineering
Fall 2015:

Thanks for the reply!
I've found out that I unfortunately need to retake electric circuits and modern physics because the courses I took did not cover enough according to the syllabi, so I'm probably going to take 10 classes altogether. Here's a little more information on the prereqs for each...
Hi all,
this spring will be my first semester in Boston University's LEAP program which is a program designed for non-engineering bachelor's degree students to earn their MEng or MS Eng in 3 years. I'm currently looking at the ECE program planning sheet and am not quite sure what classes to...
I'm having a problem understanding a critical damping model. I know critical damping is supposed to return the system to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating, and a critically damped system will have repeated roots so the general solution will be: c1e^rt + c2te^rt
But what...
Nevermind, figured it out! I had to solve y(t) for t then solve v(t) to find the velocity that it hits the liquid at, then solve y(t) with that velocity, then find the time it takes to hit the bottom of the reservoir, then add the two times together.
