Wow, haven't looked at this for a while, forgot about it. Sorry for reproducing an old discussion, but I'll check these out. I've also found a couple of a papers on the subject, trying to learn more. I'm guessing this is a multidisciplinary line of research, but what sort of courses would be...

What I really want to ask is this. I'm a current undergrad who has just finished up his freshman year. I'm seriously considering switching to physics from EE. This is more due to personal happiness(I've been depressed a lot lately, and having some thoughts I'd rather not have, so this is...

My lame token contribution to this thread. The graduate student I work with on research is Chinese, and he plans on going back to China as soon as the Phd/postdoc is done. From what I've HEARD and observed, this desire is a recent phenomenon(20 years ago, graduate students wished to stay in...

Right, so I'm a freshman in college right now, so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Would it be possible to get a biological system to imitate or act like a semiconductor or nanoelectronic device or is that a fantasy? Does anyone here have experience doing it? Or perhaps use nanoelectronics to solve...

Has anyone ever switched a major because they like the department/teaching style in the classes a lot more, and not so much because of the course material? I'm trying to decide between EE and physics, and it's REALLY tough to... It's partly due to course material(my interests in EE lie in...

Homework Statement y'' + w^2y = cos(t) y(0) = 1 y'(0) = 0 w^2 not equal to 4 Homework Equations Laplace integral, transform via table/memory... Y(s) = F(s) or whatever you like to use The Attempt at a Solution s^2Y(s) - sy(0) - y'(0) + w^2Y(s) = s/(s^2 + 1). Right side is...

Thanks for all the replies. Hah! I'd be fine with a 3.0 now. Therein lies the problem. By terrible, I mean mainly C's. 2.2 GPA... My final exams turned out a LOT worse than I was predicting, but it isn't just that. Now, granted, I am not just making a "few adjustments." Sorry if I made...

In a word-TERRIBLE... another reason why I'm considering something new. The EE classes coming up seem really interesting, but I don't know if I can do well in them if I did badly in the weeders. I can't do that. The problem is ChemE is very competitive at my school(mine is top 10 in...

I am a first semester(well, second now I guess) ECE who is now considering a switch to ChemE. I chose EE originally because I looked up the ChemE curriculum and it didn't seem all that exciting to me(transport phenomena,thermodynamics, etc). I also heard that most ChemE jobs were process jobs in...

This should probably be in the academic guidance forum, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask here. Please don't attack me. :) I am a first semester(well, second now I guess) ECE who is now considering a switch to ChemE. I chose EE originally because I looked up the ChemE curriculum and it...

OK... This is a going to be a LONG post. My apologies for that, and anything that seems contradictory right now. I am probably going to change what I think(I am 18), so take all of this with a grain of salt. I probably don't even know what I talking about. I am not thinking straight. I really...

You guys are right. I came to the same conclusion last night, ironically. Strangely, I feel a lot better now that I have accepted it. Well, I don't want to be ahead just for the sake of being ahead. The regret was more, now I'm going to have to wait to take the courses that I really want...

This will be a long post. Apologies in advance. Well... I'm an ECE major, but I am also considering physics. I'm an incoming freshman, so suffice it to say, my plans can change. Who knows what I will end up with eventually... maybe Chem E! Currently my schedule is: EE 302-Intro to Elec...

Thanks guys! I self-studied the courses in limited time(didn't even know Physics C existed until late in the game-crappy school system but that is beside the point), so maybe I should take the courses. On the other hand, I went over stuff that wasn't covered in the courses(but is in the courses...

Bump...
