^ That's the plan. What skills are especially useful for a EE looking to get into the electronics end of things? I'm going to be brushing up on my C skills, but I think familiarizing myself with a different type of language would be helpful (i.e. a scripting language and a OO language). Other...

There are two career fairs on campus each year: one in September and one in February. I guess I'm just basically wanting to know if I need to try to land an internship for next summer this time around or can I wait until February in order to add some skills and polish my resume / interviewing...

I'm a new EE transfer student with (roughly) Jr level status, although most of the classes I'm taking now are 2nd semester Soph-level. I've been at school for just 2 weeks now, but I'm already getting emails from the Career Office about upcoming interviews for summer internships. It all feels a...

I've often found that typing things up takes so much longer than just writing it out neatly that it's never worth it. Unless you have incredibly bad handwriting, I wouldn't bother with all the work it takes to type up a sheet, especially if you have a lot of equations or other odd text to manage.

Any decent engineering program requires an introductory programming course, usually in either C/C++ or Java. The best choice for beginners is hotly debated among programmers, but any of these three will be a good practical place to start. C is going to be a little easier to pick up, since it...

I don't have any specific suggestions right now, but you might want to check out your local library. They might have something good...ours has at least one decent book on most topics in calculus. Plus, it's free! Calc III is mostly vector calculus: some electromagnetics texts might even offer...

Not at all. But I chose to do electrical...which is what I've always been interested in. Just curious...how did you end up doing ChemE instead of EE if that's what you like?

I don't think it's anything to worry about. Physics I/II are introductory courses, so you'll likely see the stuff relevant to your degree again sometime soon. I personally have ended more than a few courses by just plugging numbers into formulas because of burn-out and an overwhelming workload...

I thought I had heard somewhere that the agreement signed by the business from the card companies prohibited them from charging an extra fee for credit card customers. Places like gas stations got around this by giving a discount for cash purchases. My girlfriend relayed a good one to me the...

I'm going on 27 and still have 2-3 years left on my Bachelor's in EE, so I'll likely be 30 by the time I graduate and finally get a real job. And ditto on what phyzmatix said...I took Calc I in High School, but had to go all the way back to PreCalc my first year to brush up. I still feel like...

Agreed. DiffEq and Calc III are easily manageable together...especially at CC.

Best bet is to visit some of the campuses you're thinking about. Schedule a campus visit and talk with someone in the department. They'll be more than willing (usually) to tell you anything you want to know about the program. You can get a feel for the campus and the department and then...

I wouldn't consider those to be too much of a load for summer...but it really depends on your situation. Where are you taking the classes at? If you're a reasonably bright student, Circuits I should be pretty easy. Circuits II might be a little rough considering the topics covered...it'll be...

I used to worry about a lot of the same things you do, but as you go through school, you realize that you're not so different from the other students. Like turbo said, work on the self-esteem and study habits...it'll help a lot. Also, about the memory thing: in my opinion, you don't need to...

How are you doing in your classes? Are you being challenged? If not, that might be part of the reason as well (it has been for me in some cases). Are you falling behind in your work or are you keeping up with assignments? You'll pretty much need to force yourself to study and get away...
