Schools What universities have really cool programs for EEs?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the pursuit of a higher-quality education in electrical engineering (EE) at universities known for their research and programs. The participant, an EE student at UC Colorado Springs, is considering transferring to institutions like UT Austin, recognized for its early railgun research and current focus on compulsators. There is a strong interest in universities that excel in EE, particularly those involved in innovative research, clubs, and technologies related to electromagnetic accelerators, laser technology, and wireless electricity. Texas A&M is highlighted as a notable option due to its veteran-friendly environment and strong EE program. The emphasis is on exploring various universities to find the best fit for advancing education and research interests in the field.

I'm currently an EE student going to UC Colorado Springs, definitely a decent university but I'd like to really get the best out of my education and since I'm on the Post 9/11 GI bill I don't have to worry about residency requirements. I have been keeping my GPA well polished to be able to make this shift.

I was reading that a lot of early railgun research was done at the Center for Electromechanics at UT Austin and thought that would be a great uni to go to. At this point though they seem to focus mainly on compulsators which is still very interesting.

Can you think of Universities that have just really good EE colleges or are doing cool things like research or clubs?

I love EM accelerators and weapons and very interested in laser technology and wireless electricity but I'm sure I could get interested in many other fields.

I may be partial to my Alma Mater, but Texas A&M is a great school. They are Veteran friendly too, in my experience. Do some research and see what appeals to you.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
