It definitely takes way more than 5 seconds

It's hard when all you're trying to do is solve the problem before the time is up.

It's so frustrating. I understand that in real life you can't just be like "oops, I forgot a negative sign in my calculations, my bad!" whenever a rocket explodes, but in these instances, you have multiple people checking your work, and you are never so limited in time to where you can't take...

Yeah, or I'll just type the wrong number on accident

I'm getting pretty discouraged because I'm a straight A engineering student, but this semester I'm getting bad grades because I'm plugging things into my calculator wrong. I study a ton, and I definitely know the material, I just plug things into my calculator wrong and get the wrong answer. In...

I'm really just not as interested in ME as EE or CS. I also don't like scripting in MATLAB too much compared to programming in C++.

Start with Python if you're just self teaching. C++ if you are very patient and good at learning from a very hard to read textbook, or if you have a mentor or someone to prevent you from getting into bad habits. I'd say Python.

I really love physics, and have been thinking about majoring in it for a while, but due to the fact that I think I'd rather just work after getting my degree instead of pursuing a PhD, I have been following the engineering path. I am currently a second year ME student, and I am just now...

I just recently published a 15 page educational handout on my college's website through my job. This handout does not have my name on it even though I spent weeks writing it. Instead, it has the name of the place that I work at. Can I put this on my resume? P.S. My boss is pretty mad at me...

I think you're right. I don't think it would be a problem for me to get most of it done over the summer. It will just take a lot of motivation lol. And I actually teach myself nearly everything from the book, so the textbook will be my personal tutor! I'm really not trying to act like I already...

because that would result in me spending an extra year at university for no reason well, not for no reason, I would obviously get caught up, but if I can just learn most of it in the summer and then catch all of the small things while I advance through my degree, I might as well do that.

So I am currently an ME major at CC. I am probably going to transfer to a university to study physics next fall but there is one problem... I took physics 1 & 2 at a community college that is very heavily focused on their engineering program. Because of this, I only learned things in physics 1...

I understand why he is upset, but as you said, I am an undergraduate student, and quite honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what schedules do and do not work for me. I know this puts him in a bad position, but not everything can go exactly as planned all of the time. While I do understand...

He pretty much just gave me a huge lecture about how I'm going to ruin my career if I keep bailing on commitments. He said that me changing my schedule is going to affect his reputation because he has to inform one of the other departments that they do not have someone that can work at that...

I work part time at my school. I just asked to change my schedule at work because it was affecting my school stuff, and my boss kinda freaked out. He is the type that takes things very personally and was extremely offended when I requested to change my schedule. I have been a very good employee...
