Hey everyone, I've got a bit of a question. I'm an Electrical Engineering major, in my second year. So I decided that it would be a fun challenge to take an upper division History class as an elective, and I'm taking it pass/fail (pass being >75%, fail being <75%). But, between other classes and...
I feel like quoting the Simpsons.
Other reporter: They're a colorful bunch. They've been dubbed, “The Three Musketeers". Heh heh heh.
Reporter: And we laugh legitimately. There's a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician.
Another question I had: I'm doing an internship in power generation, but I don't know if that's what I'd like to do for the rest of my life. Is the experience I get in this internship going to carry over to a more interesting (to me) field, or, let's say I want to do microelectronics or...
Hey everyone. I'm a sophomore in Electrical Engineering, and I just received an amazing internship with a major energy company, and I have a slightly abstract question to ask. How much is this internship going to help me when I'm looking for a job or applying to a good grad school (I plan on...
Thanks for the advice everyone - That's kind of what I was hoping you'd tell me :) I would personally love to take some more advanced EE classes than do the repeat, but I wasn't sure if it would be better to keep my GPA up. Thanks alot! And grad schools look at extra classes I've taken?
I know, I know, I think I'm just directing my worry to the wrong outlet, and I will kick butt to pull myself up to the A I want. Just one question - if I do repeat, both grades go on my transcipt (the old grade is placed in brackets or something). Just for future knowledge, just in case, what do...
I'm not worried about understanding it. The harder of the two class that I'm thinking of retaking, Intro to Microcontrollers, is a class that I love. I do very well in the labs and have made some (not to brad) pretty cool stuff. I understand the classes very well, just, for some reason, the...
I have a couple extra spots for classes, that if I don't retake, I'd just fill with some random classes (or maybe a physics class or math class?). My school allows any class to be retaken, but it will show on the transcript. I think they way it works is that the first grade will be in brackets...
Hey everyone. I have a quick question for you (I'm thinking a bit ahead, I know, but I like being prepared.) So, I'm in Sophomore year of Electrical Engineering, and I like it a lot, especially now that I'm getting to work with microcontrollers and into more complex electronics. Anyways, my...
The math classes I was taking were Differential Equations with Applications, and Applied Linear Algebra. Both would be my second course in each of those subjects.
What if a photon is traveling from one medium to another, both with different indices of refractions (like from air to water)? The velocity of the photon would change upon entering the second medium, would that not be considered an acceleration? Or am I missing something..
Hey everyone. I'm a sophomore in Electrical Engineering, and with the deadline coming up for dropping/adding classes, I was hoping I could get your opinions on some things. I love EE, and I'm loving it more now that I'm getting farther into it. And somehow, my schedule works out such that I will...
"or that 1/3 is 1^-3"
I don't believe I learned that either...I imagine you mean 3^-1?
I also had a friend who did poorly in calc I and had to retake it, but he just couldn't come to terms with the concept of a derivative for a while, such as what it was, or why it was useful. When he took...
Hey Zapper, this might be a stupid question, but did you intend to say, "However, when you start including processes in which matter and mass can be converted into each other" or did you mean "energy and mass"? No disrepect intended - either it's a typo, or I'm misunderstanding something.
So, any conclusion on the matter? I've thought about the EE/phys dual, but that would be quite tough. EE/math dual would be difficult, but managable, and EE and math/phys minors would be difficult, about the same as the EE/math dual.
