I taught recitations as a TA. One of the brighter and enthusiastic students approached me to write a scholarship recommendation. I declined it firmly as (in my opinion) it would have done her no good. I am just a senior undergraduate.

Honors Dissertation Intro to AI Database Systems Facility Layout & Location Computational Geometry

Hi, I am a final year IEOR major too and really wish that I had studied CS instead. I started a thread days ago at: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=550002 I would love to stay in school for another one year or so, to get a second major in CS. But I am already in 30k of study...

Dear Victor, thanks for the encouragement. I have now clarified my thoughts. The following are my weakness and the actions I can take to overcome them. Could you help me prioritise them? 1) Lack of general CS knowledge such as compiler design, code optimization, network protocols, database...

Yes, I agree that OP should try computer science classes.

I am terribly surprised that no one considered the one-size-fits-all approach to Education being employed in the Western world, and how it is subconsciously jamming pre-university preparation down the throats of every young person. Here in Singapore, our Institutes of Technical Education...

Hi Hurkyl, do you care to explain about this statement? What should be an important aspect of learning C++?

Well two projects come to mind 1) I wrote a console program in C++ to simulate stochastic queuing models. 2) For my current honors dissertation, I am working on a heuristic for the NP-hard optimization problem of Quadratic Programming (QP). My heuristic is being implemented in C++ too...

Yes you are right, I was exposed to all these concepts. I did manage a good grade in my software engineering class, that talked about software architecture, project management, and development methodologies. But that seemed to be a very top-down approach to learning. I am more concerned with...

I am one semester away from graduating with an operations research major. I only learned programming when I was in university, but grew to love it very much. Since I am currently considering my future, I realized that I am nowhere qualified for a job in the technology sector, so my first job...

i'm in industrial, so I will admit that an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering is less technically rigorous. but that said, industrial engineering is concerned with solving a broad range of real life problems, so you cannot compare it directly with the traditional engineering...

As an engineering major, I prefer the mathematics of applied topics such as algorithms, mathematical optimization and statistics to analysis, probability and algebra. That said...the latter group was pretty helpful to my learning as much as they were damaging to my GPA (B- to B+ usually)

Wow 3 or 4 majors...that's unheard of in my university (top 10 in science and engineering)

Something must have gone terribly wrong if you feel that you have been put into a "situation"...when you receive chocolates from a student about to finish his attachment. Academic code of conduct, really? Why not use your empathy instead?

who cares ;) two-fish is awesome.
