AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an undergraduate Electrical Engineering student planning to participate in the "Science without Borders" program, which allows for a year of study at a foreign university. The student seeks recommendations for universities to apply to, considering their current focus on power systems and whether to pursue broader Electrical Engineering courses or specialize further in the U.S. Responses emphasize the importance of personal preferences in selecting a university, suggesting that factors beyond program reputation should be considered, such as the university's attributes, culture, and specific offerings in Electrical Engineering. The conversation highlights the need for the student to align their choice with their career goals and interests in the field.

Hello, I'm an undergrad of Electrical Engineering and I'm planning to participate, if not at the end of this year, in the end of the next, of a program called "Science without Borders". In this program, I'll be able to attend to a university of other country for a year, what they call here 'sandwich graduation'.
Of course, you have to be accepted to the colleges you apply for and prove that you are proficient in the natural language of the referred country. But the advice I'm looking for is: which colleges would you recommend for me to look for?
My university here itself, has kind of an emphasis in power systems, which is characteristic of EE courses around here. Do you guys think I should try to complement my graduation going for something more broad in the EE field, or should I look for courses in the US more directed to this sub-field? If possible, explain why (i.e. the main aspects) you advised me that(those) college(s). Thanks in advance.

A lot of personal preference is factored when choosing a university. More than just "what are the best EE programs". You can do a Google search for that. You need to decide what other attributes of a university are you looking for.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
