So I was planning on taking LA for fun next semester but it conflicts with my circuit analysis class. I decided to self study and figure that if I spend real money buying a book then I will guilt myself into actually following through with it. I've been reading through various threads about...

So I've been thinking more and more of going on to grad school for EE after I graduate and I would like to know more about the job market for phd grads. Although its probably way to early to say this but I don't think I'm too interested in academia so I'm talking about industry or...

Hello all, I'm Peavey. (Excuse me if this is not the place to be introducing myself, but I'm going to be talking more about electronic engineering rather than introductions.) So. I am going into college next fall semester, and majoring in electronic engineering. I am not very knowledgeable on...

Hi all I have applied to University to study EE in September. Are there any specific areas of maths that you would recommend concentrating on over the summer? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Mark

I was wondering if it was possible to go from a BS in mathematics to a MS in EE and skip the BS in EE altogether? I was interested in a double major of EE and Mathematics but I'm wondering if its really needed to get a BS in EE to do a MS in EE?

I'm trying to decide between the undergrad physics and EE route. My main interests are obviously mathematics and physics. By the way I'm from Quebec and we have a required 2 year of "Cegep" we must take before applying to a university, I think it's the equivalent of colleges everywhere else...
