How often do you study each night in EE undergrad? Weedays? Weekends?

AI Thread Summary
Electrical Engineering (EE) undergraduates often study extensively to maintain a high GPA, with many students balancing 25-30 hours of work weekly. Personal aptitude significantly influences study needs, as some students struggle despite not working, while others manage with minimal study. Coordinating a social life can also impact academic performance, potentially lowering GPA. The coursework typically provides a gradual increase in difficulty, helping students adjust. Overall, effective time management is crucial for success in EE.

I'm really interested in EE and want to maintain a high gpa. I hear that EEs tend to study more in their majors. I need to work atleast 25-30 hours a week to support myself.

Welcome to PF;
I have done this - I did a 60-70 hour week at one stage so it can be done.
However a lot depends on personal aptitude - I knew people who were struggling in their courses without having to work and others who barely needed to study at all.
If you are anything like me you will need to coordinate a social life and any kind of a love interest will kill your gpa.
Fortunately the courses ease you into it.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
