$0 is my projected Debt for when I graduate. In total it will cost me ~$30k for my degree from a large state university (3 years --> 9 semesters). The Georgia state government has a program called HOPE that covers all tuition cost. Basically I just have to foot the bill for food, a place to...

Georgia Tech has a great Co-op program. Essentially, you go to school one semester, co-op the next, then go to school again, then co-op... this cycle repeats until you opt out of the program or graduate. It does take you longer to graduate, but the experience and money you gain from it is fairly...

My experience as a third year ME undergraduate is there are subjects in engineering that I love and subjects that I hate. The great thing about engineering is it covers a large range of topics. I believe if you are adequate at and enjoy physics and math, you can find an area in engineering that...

My routine is to spend an hour studying for each class Mon-Thurs. This can vary depending on my workload in each class, but I have never had to spend more than 20 hours a week working to maintain a decent GPA outside of the two weeks preceding finals. My process of study for the one hour...

ODE = Ordinary Differential Equation I took linear algebra and vector calculus before ODE. However, my school only requires linear algebra as prerequisites before taking a course in ODEs. I did not use vector calculus in the ODE course I took but plenty of linear algebra. In hindsight, the ODE...

Hello, I'm a 2nd year undergraduate working towards a degree in mechanical engineering. Overall, I'm doing fairly well with a 3.87 GPA, but this semester I am taking one class (circuits analysis class), and it has been kicking my butt. Right now I'll probably get a C in the class. It seems no...

I'm fairly apathetic towards others cheating. I guess I have faith in the idea that their inadequacy in their given field will come back to haunt them. Still, the idea that he is writing entire thesis papers for graduate students is chilling. I wonder if his type of service is abused in the...

Hey, 2nd year Mechanical Engineering Undergrad here. What attracted you to Georgia Tech? HOPE Scholarship Do you have anything negative to say about the engineering department at Ga Tech? This is a quote I pulled off from http://www.studentsreview.com/GA/GT_comments.html I...
