Engineering How are upper division Engineering courses like?

AI Thread Summary
Upper division engineering courses vary significantly in difficulty compared to lower division courses, making it challenging to generalize about their rigor. While some students may find them harder due to increased expectations for background knowledge and sophistication, this is not universally applicable. Group projects are common in upper division courses, but not all courses include them. Additionally, upper division courses can be more time-consuming, although this can also depend on the specific course and instructor. Overall, experiences in upper division engineering courses can differ widely among students.

How are upper division Engineering courses like? Are they harder compared to lower division ones? Does almost every one of the upper division engineering courses include group projects? Are the upper division courses more time consuming than the lower division ones?

Thanks

It is impossible to generalize. Any or none of the things you mention could apply. The only thing you might expect (and this might not be true either) is that more might be expected in terms of background and sophistication.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
